TekExpress® LVDS Physical Layer Measurement and Debug Solution Application Help (5/6 Series MSO) 12

Getting started

Supported oscilloscopes

Supported models

5/6 Series MSO (MSO54, MSO56, MSO58, MSO64) with bandwidth ≥ 350 MHz.

Bandwidth selection is based on the signal characteristics (data rate) as shown below:

Some examples to calculate the bandwidth are as follows:

• For 800 Mbps data rate, (800/2) * 5 = 2 GHz

• For 1.5 Gbps data rate, (1.5/2) * 5 = 3.750 GHz

• For 5 Gbps data rate, (5/2 * 5) = 12.5 GHz

Getting started

Recommended probes

The following are the list of probes required:

• Differential Probes

TDP3500/TDP4000/TDP7704/TDP7706/TDP/7708 with probe accessories

• Single ended Probes

SMA to BNC adapter (DUT fixture dependent)

Quantity of the probes is based on number of lanes chosen.

TekExpress® LVDS Physical Layer Measurement and Debug Solution Application Help (5/6 Series MSO) 15

Operating basics

Launch the application

To launch the TekExpress LVDS application, select Applications > TekExpress LVDS from the oscilloscope Menu bar.

Operating basics

After first launch of Tekexpress LVDS application following changes take place on the oscilloscope.

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 will get unmapped.

If a user with new login ID launches "TekExpress LVDS.exe", the "My TekExpress" folder is created in the Documents folder

Note:

of the new user.

When you first run the application after installation, the application checks for Resources.xml located in the X:\ folder. The Resources.xml file gets created in the X: drive. If the file is not found, then the application creates the file with equipment details. Session files are then stored inside the X:\LVDS folder. If this file is not found, the application runs an instrument discovery program to detect connected instruments before launching TekExpress LVDS.

To keep the TekExpress LVDS application window on top, select Keep On Top from the Options menu. If the application goes behind the oscilloscope application, click Applications > TekExpress LVDS to move the application to be in front.

When Keep on Top is selected, you cannot access the combo boxes in the application panels.
