A.5.4.1. F-Tile FGT NRZ Tuning Flow
BER is the Bit Error Rate. It is the primary figure of merit.
FOM is an indication of the vertical eye opening as it is updated during adaptation. It is a figure of merit used when auto adaptation is ON since it relies on auto adaptation firmware. If auto adaption is OFF, FOM cannot be used. FOM is a very fast vertical eye measurement and it is not the same as vertical eye height. The larger the FOM value, the larger the eye opening. Negative FOM value implies a failure of adaptation.
Eye Height value is in mV and can be used when auto adaptation is ON. In the attached tuning tcl script, for NRZ signaling, there is one eye height value readout. For PAM4 signaling, there are multiple eye height readouts; top eye height, middle height, and bottom eye height readouts.
