1. Introduction

Welcome to the TekExpress® LVDS application. The Tektronix TekExpress® LVDS 
transmitter test application offers a physical layer test solution for transmitter 
parameter, measurements and characterization. 
The TekExpress® LVDS automated test solution, along with a Tektronix 5 & 6 Series MSO, 
70KC oscilloscope, provides an easy way to measure, test, debug and characterize 
the electrical and timing measurements of various flavors of LVDS.

2. List of supported equipments 

DPO70K Series and MSO 5/6 Series scope (MSO54, MSO56, MSO58, MSO64, MSO64B) with Jitter Analysis option.

** Bandwidth Selection:
Minimum scope bandwidth would be 350MHz.
A. Example cases based on data rate e.g., given below. 
800 Mbps >> (800/2) * 5 >> 2GHz 
1.5 Gbps >> (1.5/2) * 5 >> 3.750GHz >> 4 GHz
5 Gbps   >> (2.5 * 5) >> 12.5GHz 

B. Bandwidth calculation based on rise time. 
Between the two options (A and B), opt for the higher Bandwidth Scope. 

Bandwidth of the scope should be such that no relevant part of the signal 
is filtered off.  

** Probes (Quantity based on number of lanes)  : 

Differential Probes TDP3500/TDP4000/TDP7704/TDP7706/TDP/7708 + Probe Accessory 
Single ended Probes with SMA to BNC Adapter. DUT fixture dependent 
Minimum recommended quantity is 2 numbers of differential probes: 
One for clock and One for data

4. TekExpress LVDS Tx created changes on your system.

After first launch of "TekExpress LVDS Tx.exe" following changes take place in 
your computer.
a) "My TekExpress" folder is created under "My Documents" folder of current user
    NOTE: If a user with new login ID launches "TekExpress LVDS Tx.exe”,
   "My TekExpress" folder is created under "My Documents" of the new user. 
b) "Untitled Session" folder is created under "LVDS folder when the 
   application is launched and will be deleted after proper termination of the
   application.
c) If user saves a session then all session files are saved under "LVDS"
   folder accordingly. Note that each session has multiple files associated with it and do 
   not tamper with any of the session file(s) and/or folder(s) as this may result in loss 
   of data or corrupted session files.

=====================================================================================
5. What's new in Version

a> First release. Added support for DPO70KC, 5 & 6 Series MSO scope and OLH updates.

b> Second release. Added Data SSC measurements , Scope Bandwidth limit feature and minor bug fixes.

=====================================================================================
6. Recommendations

Ensure that all the required instruments are properly warmed up, Signal Path Compensation 
is performed and deskew is done.
