Tektronix TDSDVI Reference manual
Getting Started with TDSDVI
Side one of this Quick Reference Guide is designed to get
you started making measurements with the DVI Compliance
Test Solution (TDSDVI). Side two contains a complete
menu tree for the TDSDVI software.
NOTE. For complete operating instructions
and General Safety information, refer to the
Online Help for the application.
The TDSDVI software application tests for compliance with
DVI specifications. TDSDVI software is designed to meet
the compliance test requirements of the DVI industry for
physical layer measurements. Supported tests include Eye
Diagram Test, Peak-to-Peak Jitter , Inter-Pair Skew, Intra-Pair
Skew, and Rise and Fall Time testing.
Performing Transmitter Eye-diagram Test
1. From the TDS Windows menu, select File > Run
Application > DVI Compliance Test Solution.
2. Attach the TPA-P test fixture to the device under test. To
calculate Tbit, connect the differential probe to Rxc+
and Rxc-- (transmitter clock). For Eye measurement,
connect another differential probe to Rx0+ and Rx0-(data pair).
3. Connect an SMA cable to the recovered clock (PLL
Clock) output on the fixture.
5. To calculate Tbit, select the Tbit button on the Define
Tbit pane of the application.
6. Select the appropriate channel.
7. Press the “Running Man” icon to run the application.
The Tbit value displays in the V alue field.
8. Select Measurement > Select >Transmitter> Eye
Diagram. (Or, in the Transmitter tab, select the Eye
Diagram measurement.)
9. Press the configure button to configure the application.
The detailed results and the eye diagram display as
shown below.
11. Select Utilities > Report Generator from the TDSDVI
menu to generate a compliance test report.
4. Connect the differential probes and the SMA cable from
the test fixture to your TDS oscilloscope.
