FRAMECHECKER TAB

This tab provides access to the frame generator and frame
checker features of the ADIN1300
Control the number of frames generated by the generator, the
frame length, and the content of the frame within this tab.
Choose to have the frame generator to either run in burst mode
or run continuously. To halt the frame generator when the frame
generator is running continuously, use the Terminate button.
Use the Loopback button to enable the remote device to loop
back the data to the local device. To ensure that the appropriate
device is selected, choose which connected board is the local,
configure that board to generate frames, then configure the
other board in remote loopback.
The frame checker information displayed on the screen
accumulates the number of frames sent and shows the number
of errors observed (see Figure 25).

CABLE DIAGNOSTICS TAB

The cable diagnostic feature allows the user to diagnose issues
with the link. Various features within the device are available
when the link is up, which quantify the quality of the link by
measuring features such as the mean squared error (MSE) level
and estimated cable length. These measurements are displayed
in the main Link Properties tab.
The features in the Cable Diagnostics tab (see Figure 26) are
the features available to run when the link is disabled, such as
checking for shorts, checking for opens, and identifying the
distance to the first fault (see Figure 28). The LinkEn bit must
be clear to run these checks.
Figure 26. Cable Diagnostics Configuration with Link Up
Click the Disable Linking button to set the LinkEn bit to 0 to
allow diagnostics to be run (see Figure 27 through Figure 29).
