Set error detector advanced settings
From the Analyze menu, select Serial Error Detector, press Setup, elect the Source Setup tab, and then press the Advanced
button. Error detector is not available on DPO70000SX instruments.
Overview
Advanced Settings allow you to set the Align Primitives and enable or disable spread spectrum clock tracking.
To use
â–
Click On or Off to turn Spread Spectrum Clocking (SSC Tracking) on or off.
SSC is ON by default and Tektronix recommends that it should always be ON, even if there is no SSC on the signal.
â–
To ignore align primitives, select the Ignore Align Primitives option button and specify the primitives using the keypad or
keyboard.
The Align Character informs the SerDes to align to 10-bit character boundaries when this character is found in the signal.
Alignment Primitives, also known as skip ordered sets, are inserted into the signal by the DUT for purposes of pacing
(keeping transmitter from overrunning the receiver).
â–
Enter the Maximum consecutive ALIGNs using the keypad or keyboard.
The maximum consecutive aligns is a design parameter of the particular DUT that indicates how many consecutive aligns
are allowed.
