Overview
Advanced Se
ttings allow you to set the Align Primitives and enable or disable spread spectrum clock
tracking.
To use
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 b e ON, even if there is
no SSC on the signal.
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).
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.
