How to Control Skew Between the Four
Lanes

From the InfiniBand specification, an InfiniBand device is expected to

accept a given lane skew. You can artificially insert a delay between the

four lanes to verify that your DUT fulfills this InfiniBand requirement.

To insert a delay between lanes:

1 Select Generator>Lane Skew.

The Lane Skew Settings and Status dialog box opens.

2 In the Transmit Lane Skew list, set the delay (in symbol times)

between the lanes for each lane by means of the adequate lists.

3 Click Apply.

The DUT should then notice the lane skew and reacts as expected.
