GaGe Application Note: Creating a Data Link Signal Integrity Test Platform
Download a PDF Copy of this App Note Data Link Device Testing The data link device under test (Figure 1) is characterized by comparing test signals that are input to the link with signals measured at the link output. Differences between these two test signals indicate a degradation by the link during transmission. Figure 1. Two test platforms (PCIe and PXIe, respectively) transmit and receive the data link test signals. GaGe RazorMax high-speed data acquisition cards record the data for signal integrity comparison. The input and output test signals require sampling at 1 GS/s (GigaSample per second) [...]
