o8x modified compliance pattern (for lane 0..7 and 8..15)
Pattern editor improvements:
•New dynamic insert mode to automatically increase/reduce the pattern length while
editing.
•Indicate illegal pattern length that cannot be rolled out to pattern length granularity
within the maximum pattern length.
•8b/10b editing
oIndicate running disparity errors for 8b/10b applications.
oIndicate that the pattern will cause running disparity errors when being
looped.
o8b/10b symbols can now be used together with SATA OOB(out-of-band
signaling) mode, this allows entry of Z symbols for OOB application using
external channel addition of data out and auy data out.
oDefine running disparity at the start of the pattern.
oOptional automatic correction of running disparity while editing.
•Export even/odd bits to generate Error Detector expected pattern files to be used in
half-rate under-sampling applications.
•Added conversion options that allow to easily convert Standard to Alternate patterns
and vice versa.
oAssign standard pattern to A or B.
oDe-multiplexing standard pattern to A and B.
oMultiplex alternate pattern to a standard pattern.
oDiscard either A or B part on conversion of an alternate pattern to a standard
pattern.
•New and improved Block Edit functionality
oSame Block Edit capabilities in pattern editor and sequence pattern editor.
oSwap, Copy, Reverse traces
oRotate pattern left/right
oRotate pattern to align at an user defined bit sequence or 8b/10b symbol.
oInvert running disparity in 8b/10b mode.
oCorrect running disparity in 8b/10b mode.
•Find and Replace functionality for binary, hex, 8b/10b, OOB and PAM4 modes.
Others:
•Added demo patterns for USB3.0
•New sequences for DisplayPort added
•De-emphasis signal converter N4916B Software update (N4916B zip1.1.4.0)
•28 Gb/s Multiplexer N4876A Software update (N4876A zip 1.0.0.4)
Notes:
•IVI-COM driver version 1.2.7.0 does not yet support Win7 64bit OS.
