Recommendations Following recommendation to avoid any issues while running the tests a) For SSC measurements at Gen3 speed, record length of 50M is recommended. b) Record length of 5M for all other tests. ========================================================================== 7. Known Limitations 7.1 Installer related limitation a) Required software installed on “C:\” only. b) User needs to have administrative privilege while installing the application c) If DPOJET software is upgraded and/or for some reason the DPOJET software is uninstalled and then installed again, re-install SAS software. 7.2 SAS option related limitation a) User needs to have administrative privilege while running the tests. b) Custom measurement (OOB, SSC, Physical LTR, CM Spectrum, WDP, SAS_EYEOPENING) plots will not be available in the DPOJET report. The plots can be retrieved from the 'Plots' folder of 'SAS3', 'SAS4' and 'SAS-OOB' in 'C:\Users\Public\Tektronix\TekApplications\' c) This Debug solution cannot be used for DUT control. d) All measurements are not applicable for all generations, refer to MOI bundled as part of the application for more information. Once installed the MOI named 'SAS_MOI.pdf' can be found at 'C:\Program Files\TekApplications\DPOJET' e) Following options need to be enabled for all measurements of DPOJET SAS i. SAS4 for SAS-4 ii. SAS3 for SAS-3 iii. SAS3-TSGW for SAS-3 WDP measurements. ==========================================================================
