About setting up tests

Set up tests using the tabs in the Setup panel. Settings in the DUT tab use a top-down, left-to-right logic flow, so that any parameter that affects or acts as a filter for other parameters appears either to the top of or to the left of the affected parameters.
Tests are saved when you save a test setup. To avoid overwriting test results, remember to assign a unique name to the test either before running it or immediately after.
All listed tests are required for compliance testing.

Search instruments connected to the application

About setting up tests
Search instruments connected to the application
Use the TekExpress Instrument Control Settings dialog box to search the instruments (resources) connected to the application. The application uses TekVISA to discover the connected instruments.
Note: The instruments required for the test setup must be connected and detected by the application, before running the test.
To refresh the list of connected instruments:
1. Select Options > Instrument Control Settings.
2. In the Search Criteria section of the Instrument Control Settings dialog box, select the connection types of the instruments to
search. Instrument search is based on the VISA layer, but different connections determine the resource type, such as LAN, GPIB, and USB. For example, if you choose LAN, the search will include all the instruments supported by the TekExpress that are communicating over the LAN.
3. Click Refresh. The TekExpress application searches for the connected instruments.
Figure 6: Search status of the instruments connected to LAN
4. When the search is complete, a dialog box lists the instrument-related details based on the search criteria. For example, for the Search Criteria as LAN and GPIB, the application displays all the LAN and GPIB instruments connected to the application.
Figure 7: TekExpress Instrument Control Settings window
The details of the instruments are displayed in the Retrieved Instruments table. The time and date of instrument refresh is displayed in the Last Updated field.

About running tests

About running tests
After selecting and configuring the test, review the pre-run checklist and then click Start to run the tests. While tests are running, you cannot access the Setup or Reports panels. To monitor the test progress, switch back and forth between the Status panel and the Results panel.
The application displays a report when the tests are complete. While the tests are running, other applications may display windows in the background. The TekScope application takes precedence over other applications, but you can switch to other applications by using the Alt + Tab key combination. To keep the TekExpress C-PHY Tx application on top, select Keep On Top from the C-PHY Tx Options menu.

About setting up tests
Before you click Start
Before you click start
Before you run tests for the first time, do the following:
1. Understand where your test files are stored on the instrument.
2. Map my TekExpress folder as X: (X drive) on all instruments used in test setup running Microsoft Windows Operating System.
The My TekExpress folder has the shared name format <domain><user ID>My TekExpress. Or, if the instrument is not connected to a domain, then the shared name format is <instrument name><user ID>My TekExpress. This shared folder is used to save the test session files and is used during any other file transfer operations.
If the X: drive is mapped to any other shared folder, the application will display a warning message asking you to
Note:
disconnect the X: drive manually.
3. Make sure that the My TekExpress folder has read and write access and that the contents are not set to be encrypted:
a. Right-click the My TekExpress folder and select Properties. b. Select the General tab and then click Advanced. c. In the Advanced Attributes dialog box, make sure that the option Encrypt contents to secure data is NOT selected.
4. Review the pre-run checklist before you run a test.

Pre-test checklist

Do the following before you click Start to run a test. If this is the first time you are running a test for a setup, refer to the information in
Before you click Start.
On the oscilloscope:
Make sure that all the required instruments are properly warmed up (approximately 20 minutes).
Perform Signal Path Compensation (SPC).
Perform deskew on any cables.
In the C-PHY Tx application:
Verify that the application is able to find the instrument. If it cannot, perform a search for connected instruments.

Launching the application

To launch the TekExpress C-PHY, select Analyze > TekExpress C-PHY from the oscilloscope menu bar.
Launching the application
During launch, a "My TekExpress" folder is created in the Documents folder of the current user and gets mapped to "X" drive. When the application is closed properly, the "X" drive gets unmapped. Session files are then stored inside the X:\C-PHY folder. If this file is not found, the application runs an instrument discovery program to detect connected instruments before launching TekExpress C-PHY.
To keep the TekExpress C-PHY application on top of any application, select Keep On Top from the options menu. If the application goes behind the oscilloscope application, select Analyze > TekExpress C-PHY to bring the application to the front.

Application measurements

1.1.1 Thevenin Output High Level Voltage (VOH)

CPHY-TX test verifies that Thevenin Output High Level Voltage (VOH) of the DUTs LP transmitter is within the conformance limits as per MIPI CPHY Specification.
Procedure
1. Using DSO, VA, VB, and VC signals with LP signaling sequence is captured from DUT
2. 400 MHz, 4th order Butterworth Lowpass test filter is applied to the acquired waveform.
3. LP-1 states are found and VOH is measured as mode of all samples which are greater than 50% of absolute peak-to-peak of VA.
4. Repeat Step 3 for VB and VC waveform.

1.1.2 LP-TX Thevenin Output Low Level Voltage (VOL)

This CPHY-TX test verifies that Thevenin Output High Level Voltage (VOH) of the DUTs LP transmitter is within the conformance limits as per MIPI CPHY Specification.
Procedures
1. Using DSO, VA, VB, and VC signals with LP signaling sequence is captured from DUT.
2. 400 MHz, 4th order Butterworth Lowpass test filter is applied to the acquired waveform.
3. LP-0 states are found and VOH is measured as mode of all samples which are less than 50% of absolute peak-to-peak of VA.
4. Repeat Step 3 for VB and VC waveform.

1.1.3 LP-TX 15%-85% Rise Time (tRLP)

This CPHY-TX test verifies that 15%-85% Rise Time (tRLP) of the DUT’s LP transmitter is within the conformance limits as per MIPI CPHY Specification.
Procedures
