Lane Configuration Process

SDAIII-CompleteLinQ offers many alternatives for configuring the analysis on up-to-four lanes, depending
on whether the oscilloscope is equipped with one of the "LinQ" options.

The main

SDA Framework dialog

is organized like a flowchart and shows some basic setup information

for the active lane, which is made active by touching/clicking one of the Lane selector buttons on the left
half of the dialog.

There are two main configuration approaches:

l

Complete the entire configuration for a single lane, then proceed to the next

l

Complete the configuration for all lanes at each box in the flow
