Setting up the test environment

About setting up tests

Setup the tests by using the tabs in the Setup panel: Configure the test setup on page 28. 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.

Test options include two views, Compliance and Advanced (selected in the DUT tab of the Setup panel), with Compliance Mode (selected in the Configuration Setup panel). The selected view determines where the test configuration settings are displayed. The level of user intervention required depends on the DUT Automation setting and Acquisition parameters.

• Compliance View selected with Compliance Mode: View configuration options in the Test Selection tab of the Setup panel. Tests will run automatically with little or no user intervention. You will not be able to change test parameters to anything that deviates from the compliance standards. The only test configuration parameters that you can change in this mode are the Real Time Scope and the Digital Filters (DSP), both under Global Settings.

• Advanced View selected with Compliance Mode: View configuration options in the Configuration tab of the Setup panel. Tests will run automatically with little or no user intervention. You will not be able to change test parameters to anything that deviates from the compliance standards. The only configuration parameters you can change in this mode are the selected Real Time Scope, Cable filters for Eye diagram test, and the Digital Filters (DSP) under Global Settings.

Supported tests

• Eye Diagram Testing - An eye diagram is an indicator of quality in a serial bit stream. The display (which has symmetrical patterns shaped similarly to eyes) represents the integrity and consistency of data streams by visualizing the transitions between 0 and 1 values and comparing those transitions among the others in their stream.

• Data Dependent Jitter (DDJ) Measurement - DDJ is threshold-crossing time deviations correlated to the previous bits on the current data bit.

• Random Jitter (RJ) Measurement - Random Jitter (RJ) is also called Gaussian jitter, is unpredictable electronic timing noise. Random jitter typically follows a normal distribution.

• Total Jitter (TJ) Measurement - Total Jitter (TJ) is the sum of random and deterministic jitter and is calculated for a specific BER for the system.

• Uncorrelated Jitter (UJ) Measurement - Jitter that is bounded and correlated to the data is "Data dependent jitter" (DDJ). Removing DDJ from Deterministic Jitter is Uncorrelated Jitter.

• Uncorrelated Deterministic Jitter (UDJ) Measurement - Deterministic Jitter (DJ) is a type of clock or data signal jitter that is predictable and reproducible. The peak-to-peak value of this jitter is bounded and the bounds can easily be observed and predicted. Deterministic jitter has a known non-normal distribution. Deterministic jitter can either be correlated to the data stream (data-dependent jitter) or uncorrelated to the data stream (bounded uncorrelated jitter).UDJ measures uncorrelated jitter which is Bounded in nature. The most common cause of UDJ is crosstalk.

• Low Frequency Uncorrelated Deterministic Jitter (LFUDJ)Measurement - Low Frequency UDJ measurement calculates deterministic jitter after removal of data dependent jitter on low frequency signal.

• SSC Down Spread Rate Measurement - SSC Down Spread measurement calculates computes the SSC modulating frequency.

• SSC Phase Deviation Measurement - This measurement calculates SSC phase deviation in Seconds, measured at each inflection point in the modulation profile.

• SSC Slew Rate Measurement - This measurement calculates rate of change SSC frequency deviation in ppm (parts per million), measured at each inflection point in the modulation profile. It is expressed in kppm/us.

• Unit Interval Measurement - Unit Interval measurement calculates period. For clock signals, the elapsed time between consecutive crossings of the mid reference voltage level in the direction specified; one measurement is recorded per crossing pair.

About configuring tests

About setting up tests

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.

TekExpress® DisplayPort 2.0 Automated Solution 18

Setting up the test environment

After you install and launch TekExpress DisplayPort 2.0, it creates the following folders on the oscilloscope:

• Windows 10: C:\Program Files\Tektronix\TekExpress\ TekExpress DisplayPortTx 2.0

• \My Documents\My TekExpress\ DisplayPort 2.0

• \My Documents\My TekExpress\DisplayPort 2.0\ Untitled Session

Every time you launch TekExpress DisplayPort 2.0, an Untitled Session folder is created in the DisplayPort 2.0 folder. The Untitled Session folder is automatically deleted when you exit the DisplayPort 2.0 application.

CAUTION:

Do not modify any of the session files or folders because this may result in lost data or corrupted session files. Each session has multiple files associated with it. When you save a session, a .TekX file, and a folder named for the session and containing the associated files, is created on the oscilloscope X: drive.

2. Map the shared My TekExpress folder as X: (X drive) on all the instruments used in test setups running Microsoft Windows Operating System.

The My TekExpress folder has the share name format <domain><user ID>My TekExpress. Or, if the instrument is not connected to a domain, then the share name format is <instrument name><user ID> My TekExpress. This shared folder is used to save the waveform files and is used during other file transfer operations.

Note: If the X: drive is mapped to any other shared folder, the application will display a warning message asking you to 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 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.

Example.

View test-related files

Files related to tests are stored in My Documents\<Application Name>\Untitled session folder. Each test setup in this folder has both a test setup file and a test setup folder, both with the test setup name. The test setup file is preceded by the TekExpress icon.

Inside the test setup folder is another folder named for the DUT ID used in the test sessions. The default is DUT001.

Inside the DUT001 folder are the session folders and files. Each session also has a folder and file pair, both named for the test session using the naming convention (date)_(time). Each session file is stored outside its matching session folder:

Each session folder contains image files of any plots generated from running the test session. If you selected to save all waveforms or ran tests using prerecorded waveform files, these are included here.

TekExpress® DisplayPort 2.0 Automated Solution 88

References

The first time you run a new, unsaved session, the session files are stored in the Untitled Session folder located at X: \<Application Name>. When you name and save the session, the files are placed in a folder with the name that you specify. A copy of the test files stay in the Untitled Session folder until you run a new test or until you close the application.

Deskew channels

If skew is present between positive and negative channels, then the channels need to be deskewed before being used for waveform measurements. TekExpress DisplayPort 2.0 solution provides support for channel deskew using the following method:

1. Determine what the skew is for each channel.

2. From the TekScope menu, click Vertical and select Deskew.

3. In the Deskew/Attenuation window, click the channel (1 – 4) button for the first channel to be deskewed.

4. Click in the Ch(x) Deskew Time entry field and enter the skew. The skew can be +ve or –ve.

5. Click the channel button for the next channel and repeat step 4, above.

6. After entering the skew for all the channels that require it, from the Options menu in TekExpress DisplayPort 2.0, select Deskew.

7. In the Deskew dialog box, select the desired level:

• Less than 100 mV signal amplitude: Select this if the signal amplitude is such that the oscilloscope’s vertical setting is less than 100 mV/division.

• 100 mV or greater signal amplitude: Select this if the signal amplitude is such that the oscilloscope’s vertical setting is greater than 100 mV/division.

8. Click Read Deskew/Attn.

9. When finished, click Close.

Each input channel has its own deskew settings. Deskew compensates individual channels for probes or cables of different lengths. The instrument applies the delay values after each completed acquisition. The deskew values are saved as part of the instrument setup. The deskew values for the selected channel are retained until you change the probe, you restore a saved setup, or you recall the factory setup.
