Analysis Graph Types Tools The Tools panel provides a set of tools for examining graphs in detail The tools include Region Select which allows the user to select a specific region on the chart Scroll Graph which allows the user to scroll around a magnified graph Zoom In to magnify sections of graphs and Zoom Out to reduce magnification Tools Figure 10 7 Tools Panel When a region of the graph is selected using the Region Select tool the user is given the options of creating a new test script to test just the region selected to adjust a manual test case to cover just the region selected or to zoom in to that specific area of the chart Adjust manual test case amp Zoomin Figure 10 8 Region Select Tool Analysis Graph Types Within the Graph Type panel of the Analysis tab there are multiple choices of ways to view your data Each of these will be demonstrated using an example test which in this case is a typical jitter tolerance test for a receiver system for PCI Express over four channels This test script is called PCle 5 0G x4 JTOL This script determines the performance envelope of a receiver system by testing BER with added signal impairments of high frequency sinusoidal jitter of 1 to 100 MHz at signal amplitudes from O to 180 ps This creates a matrix of individual test cases that collectively describe the performance envelope of the receiver system The choices for displaying the data are as follows Analysis Gra

System Configurations The analog front end provides advanced high quality signal generation with precise timing control and the ability to produce a controlled signal waveform with user controlled jitter levels amplitude modulation and other electrical stress generation The analog front end superimposes these signal impairments on the outgoing signal to exercise and test the receiver channel of the device under test The PeRT Phoenix System provides the ability to control and modulate the outgoing test signal Test capabilities include modulation of clock noise and jitter signal shaping such as amplitude control rise fall generation pre and de emphasis and also the ability to monitor the signal quality of the traffic returned from the test device The protocol enabled capabilities of the PeRT Phoenix also allow the system to manage protocol specific issues that confuse less sophisticated test systems An example is the resynchronization of clocks in SATA systems through the use of the ALIGN primitives The PeRT Phoenix can monitor and record protocol level errors such as CRC errors and protocol specific errors such as R_ERR in SATA The PeRT Phoenix is able to 1 generate patterns which produce standardized tests such as PRBS 2 generate protocol level commands which can be used both to control the device under test e g to put the device into a loop back self test mode or request information from the device on err

46. T CASE Figure 3 5 Running and Copying a Test Pattern 32 Basic Principles of Operation The PeRT Phoenix generates a serial bit stream for testing of receivers through a two stage process In the first stage the bit stream is developed in accordance with the protocol being used if selected and the test patterns selected This bit stream is originally generated to be as clean and precise as possible In the second step the clean bit stream generated in the first step is passed through a series of stages which introduce controlled distortions into the signal There are many choices for type of distortion each type has many possible levels and multiple types of distortion can be overlapped to produce complex but controllable irregularities in the signal generated The system is designed to allow the user to test signal distortions along many different axes types and combinations of signal degradation and allows the user to establish either a simple PASS FAIL test at a given level of distortion or to explore the performance envelope of a receiver by multiple tests each of which introduces increasing levels of distortion along different axes until predefined bit error levels are exceeded In the process of testing a receiver the device containing the receiver is first connected to the system then the device may go through an initialization phase after which the device is placed into a test mode e g a simple loopback mode which r
