VBUS Thru: VBUS Through Cable, either Yes or No, as specified in the
Cable VDO.
Latency: Cable Latency, as specified in the Cable VDO.
Term: Cable Termination, as specified in the Cable VDO.
SOP DP: True if the emitter indicates an SOP'' controller is present, as
specified in the Cable VDO.
Signal Integrity: Parameters for signal integrity testing. These can be configured when
using the Advanced Cable Tester - Level 1 Application, but tests can only be run when
using the Advanced Cable Tester - Level 2 Application.
Lab Mode: When Lab mode is not enabled, the Advanced Cable Tester will
test for data reception only where reception expected, which results in faster
test times. When lab mode is enabled, the Advanced Cable Tester will test
signal integrity on all possible combinations of wires. If cable is mis-wired,
additional debug information may be available by checking this box.
Eye Diagrams: Enables capture and storage of the eye diagram data.
For each test option, Frequency controls at what rate to test. Test frequencies can be
selected between 518Mbps and 12Gbps. Not all test frequencies are available, if an
unavailable frequency is selected, the next highest available rate (or the maximum) will
automatically be chosen. The actual frequency used in signal integrity testing will be
returned in the results.
HEO and VEO set the minimum horizontal (HEO) and vertical (VEO) eye openings. Both
are specified only in internal units. It is recommended to start with one of the standard
profiles, and then fine-tune this by loosening (lowering) or tightening (raising) the value
as necessary.
High-Speed Data Lines: If checked, enables signal integrity analysis of the
USB2 DP/DM wire pair at the specified rate, with HEO and VEO validation
as specified.
