7.3. Transceiver Toolkit Parameter Settings
Parameter | Description | Control Pane | |
---|---|---|---|
Auto refresh RX CDR status | Enable this option to update the RX CDR status real time. | Receiver pane. | |
Auto refresh RX PMA settings | Enable this option to update the RX Equalization settings real time for FGT PMA. | Receiver pane. | |
Auto refresh TX Status | Enable this option to update the TX PLL lock status real time. | Transmitter pane | |
Bit error rate (BER) | Reports the number of errors divided by bits tested since the last reset of the checker. When RX CDR is locked to reference clock or PRBS checker is not locked, the BER reported is not reliable. | Receiver pane | |
Clear Stats | Clear the current number of bits tested, number of error bits and BER. | Receiver pane | |
Hard PRBS checker running | Not Running: checker stops. Running: checker is checking, and data pattern is locked. |
Receiver pane | |
Hard PRBS generator running | Not Running: generator stops. Running: generator is sending a pattern. |
Transmitter pane | |
Inject Error | Inject a bit error in the transmitter PRBS pattern. | Transmitter pane | |
Line encoding | Specifies the modulation type used for serial data. | Transmitter and receiver pane | |
Loopback mode | Select the loopbacks mode. The available options are:
|
Transmitter and receiver pane | |
Number of bits tested | Specifies the number of bits tested since the last reset of the checker. When RX CDR is locked to reference clock or PRBS checker is not locked, the BER reported is not reliable | Receiver pane | |
Number of error bits | Specifies the number of error bits encountered since the last reset of the checker. When RX CDR is locked to reference clock or PRBS checker is not locked, the BER reported is not reliable | Receiver pane | |
PRBS locked | Locked: indicates the PRBS checker is locked to the received PRBS pattern. Not Locked: indicates the PRBS checker is not locked to the received PRBS pattern. |
Receiver pane | |
PRBS pattern | Select the test pattern for the bit error test. | Transmitter and receiver pane | |
RX CDR locked to ref clock | Locked: Indicates the receiver CDR is in lock-to-reference (LTR) mode. Not Locked: Indicates the receiver CDR is not locked to reference clock. Don't Care: When the receiver CDR is in LTD mode. |
Receiver pane | |
RX CDR locked to data | Locked: Indicates the receiver CDR is in lock-to-data (LTD) mode. Not Locked: Indicates the receiver CDR is not locked to incoming data. |
Receiver pane | |
RX Enable Gray Code | Enables Gray coding for PAM4 only. | Receiver pane | |
RX PMA Settings | RX Equalization settings. | Receiver pane | |
RX Polarity Inversion | Enable RX polarity inversion. | Receiver pane | |
RX Ready | Ready: RX channel out of reset and CDR locks to data. Not Ready: RX channel in reset or CDR is not locked to data. |
Receiver pane | |
RX Reset FGT PMA | Reset the FGT RX datapath.
Note: Clicking the RX reset of one channel resets all the RX channels in the same F-Tile PMA/FEC Direct PHY Intel® FPGA IP instance.
|
Receiver pane | |
High Frequency VGA Gain | Options for the RX EQ VGA gain value, in 1.0 step size increments. | Receiver Pane | |
High Frequency Boost | Options for the RX EQ high frequency boost value, in 1.0 step size increments. | Receiver Pane | |
DFE Data Tap1 | Options for RX EQ DFE data tap1 value, in 1.0 step size increments. | Receiver Pane | |
Auto refresh RX PMA settings above | Enable this option to automatically update the RX PMA settings in real time. | Receiver Pane | |
Save Eye data as CSV | Set the file path to save the eye viewer data. | Receiver Pane | |
Eye Width | Enable this option for measurement of eye width. | Receiver Pane | |
Eye Height | Enable this option for measurement of eye height. | Receiver Pane | |
Bit error rate to measure Eye Height | Sets the Bit Error Rate to measure eye height. | Receiver Pane | |
Bit error rate to measure Eye Width | Sets the Bit Error Rate to measure eye width. | Receiver Pane | |
Start Eye Viewer | Starts the Eye Viewer measurements. | Receiver Pane | |
Eye Height (VBCM) | Enable this option for VBCM data measurement of eye height. | Receiver Pane | |
Eye Width (VBCM) | Enable this option for VBCM data measurement of eye width. FGT PMA only. | Receiver Pane | |
Bit error rate for Eye Height | Sets the Bit Error Rate to measure eye height. | Receiver Pane | |
Bit error rate for Eye Width | Sets the Bit Error Rate to measure eye width. FGT PMA only. | Receiver Pane | |
Export VBCM data to XLSX | Exports the VBCM data to the set working directory. | Receiver Pane | |
Start | Starts the pattern generator or checker on the channel to verify incoming data. | Transmitter and receiver pane | |
Stop | Stops generating patterns and testing the channel. | Transmitter and receiver pane | |
TX Enable Gray Code | Enables Gray coding for PAM4 only. | Transmitter pane | |
