4.3.4. QSFP Tab

This tab allows you to perform loopback tests on the QSFP ports.

Figure 10. QSFP Tab

The following sections describe the controls on the QSFP tab:

Status

Displays the following status information during a loopback test:
  • PLL Lock: Shows the PLL locked or unlocked state.
  • Pattern sync: Shows the pattern synced or not synced state. The pattern is considered synced when the start of the data sequence is detected.
  • Details: Shows the PLL lock and pattern sync status:
    Figure 11. PLL and Pattern Status

Port

Allows you to specify which interface to test. The following port tests are available:
  • QSFP x8

PMA Setting

Allows you to make changes to the PMA parameters that affect the active transceiver interface. The following settings are available for analysis:
  • Serial Loopback: Routes signals between the transmitter and the receiver.
  • VOD: Specifies the voltage output differential of the transmitter buffer.
  • Pre-emphasis tap:
    • Pre-tap 1: Specifies the amount of pre-emphasis on the first pre-tap of the transmitter buffer.
    • Pre-tap 2: Specifies the amount of pre-emphasis on the second pre-tap of the transmitter buffer.
    • Pre-tap 3: Specifies the amount of pre-emphasis on the third pre-tap of the transmitter buffer.
    • Post-tap 1: Specifies the amount of pre-emphasis on the post-tap of the transmitter buffer.
  • Equalizer: Specifies the RX tuning mode for receiver equalizer.

Data Type

Specifies the type of data contained in the transactions. The following data types are available for analysis:
  • PRBS 7: Selects pseudo-random 7-bit sequences.
  • PRBS 15: Selects pseudo-random 15-bit sequences.
  • PRBS 23: Selects pseudo-random 23-bit sequences.
  • PRBS 31: Selects pseudo-random 31-bit sequences.
  • HF: Selects highest frequency divide-by-2 data pattern 10101010.
  • LF: Selects lowest frequency divide-by-33 data pattern.

Error Control

Displays data errors detected during analysis and allows you to insert errors:
  • Detected errors: Displays the number of data errors detected in the hardware.
  • Inserted errors: Displays the number of errors inserted into the transmit data stream.
  • Insert: Inserts a one-word error into the transmit data stream each time you click the button. Insert is only enabled during transaction performance analysis.
  • Clear: Resets the detected errors and inserted errors counters to zero.

Loopback

  • Start: Initiates the selected ports transaction performance analysis. Always click Clear before Start.
  • Stop: Terminates transaction performance analysis.
  • TX and RX performance bars: Show the percentage of maximum theoretical data rate that the requested transactions are able to achieve.
