SDAIII-CompleteLinQ Software
Key Features
l
Simultaneous analysis of up-to-four lanes of data (requires one of the LinQ options).
l
Two overall types of measurements: eye pattern testing and comprehensive jitter analysis (includ-
ing random and deterministic jitter separation, and direct measurement of periodic jitter, DDj,
and DCD).
l
Many plot types for jitter and eye diagram analysis, including eye diagram, IsoBER, DDj Plot, dig-
ital pattern, DDj Histogram, jitter track, PLL track, jitter spectrum (with peak annotation), spec-
trum threshold, Pj Inverse FFT, jitter histogram, CDF, bathtub and Normalized Q-scale fit.
l
Filtered jitter processes the time interval error trend versus time with a user-selectable band-pass
filter. This feature allows applying filters in addition to the high-pass filtering effect of the clock
recovery PLL, which is required for some serial data specifications.
l
IsoBER displays the extrapolated lines of constant Bit Error Ratio down to the BER of interest on an
eye diagram.
l
Quick View provides a shortcut displaying the eye diagram, TIE track, bathtub curve, jitter his-
togram, NQ-scale cursors, and jitter spectrum all on the screen at the same time.
l
Fully-integrated multi-lane analysis framework with the SDAIII-CompleteLinQ LinQ family of
options, accessing features of the EyeDoctor II and VirtualProbe packages. (Single-lane analysis is
standard with SDAIII-CompleteLinQ.)
l
Access to the new Reference Lane capability.
l
When purchased with the Crosstalk or CrossLinQ package, access to advanced noise and crosstalk
measurements.
What's New in SDAIII-CompleteLinQ
Fully-integrated, Multi-lane Analysis Framework
The SDAIII-CompleteLinQ family of software options begins with a configuration dialog that integrates all
the serial data analysis capabilities enabled on your oscilloscope. Buttons for emphasis, equalization, de-
embedding and emulation are enabled with the EyeDoctor II package. The Noise and Crosstalk buttons
are enabled by the Crosstalk and CrossLinQ packages.
Multi-lane Serial Data Analysis
When ordering SDAIII-CompleteLinQ capabilities, you can enable up-to-4 lanes for analysis. Lanes can use
either single-ended or differential signals, or be directly cabled to the oscilloscope using probes or other
waveforms traces including zooms, math functions or memory traces. You can configure lanes to analyze
data from different inputs, or can utilize multi-lane analysis to perform different analysis on the same
data. (For example, all lanes could use channels 1 and 2 as the source data, with different configurations
for the jitter analysis, such as different jitter filter settings or jitter calculation methods.) If you also use
EyeDoctor II, you can configure different equalization schemes on each lane.
Noise and Crosstalk Measurements
When purchasing either the SDAIII-CompleteLinQ-Crosstalk or SDAIII-CompleteLinQ-CrossLinQ package,
you have access to the Noise and Crosstalk measurements. This powerful measurement package char-
acterizes vertical noise, providing insight into noise due to crosstalk or interference. The set of analysis
views is similar to what is found in SDAIII-CompleteLinQ jitter measurements, and includes residual noise
