Release Notes Product(s) : TekExpress Automotive PAM3 Analysis Version : 1.0.0 Last Revised : July-2019 ===================================================================================== Contents: 1. Introduction 2. List of supported equipment 3. List of supported test 4. TekExpress Application created changes on your system. 5. Recommendations 6. Known Limitations ===================================================================================== 1. Introduction The Tektronix TekExpress Automotive PAM3 Analysis is an automated test solution for performing Signal Separation on a Full duplex PAM3 100BASE-T1 twisted pair setup. Measurements like eye height and eye width can be used to measure the eye-opening of the signals. Additionally, an eye mask can be added to check the shape of the eye-diagrams. The jitter measurements include deterministic, random and total jitter. The total jitter measurement can be calculated at a particular Bit Error Rate (BER) to demonstrate the signal integrity of the system. All the measurements can be performed on both master and slave ECUs. ===================================================================================== 2. List of supported equipment MSO54, MSO56, MSO58 and MSO64 Scope Version : 1.16.0.xx or greater ===================================================================================== 3. List of supported test Eye a) Eye Height b) Eye Width Jitter a) Random Jitter(DD) b) Deterministic Jitter(DD) C) Total Jitter @ BER Timing a) Rise Time b) Fall Time Other a)Linearity ====================================================================================== 4. TekExpress Automotive PAM3 Analysis created changes on your system. After first launch of "TekExpress Automotive PAM3 Analysis.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 Automotive PAM3 Analysis.exe", "My TekExpress" folder is created under "My Documents" of the new user. b) "Untitled Session" folder is created under "Automotive PAM3 Analysis" 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 "Automotive PAM3 Analysis" 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. Recommendations Ensure that all the required instruments are properly warmed up, Signal Path Compensation is performed and deskew is done. ====================================================================================== 6. Known Limitations a) Default sources for Master and Slave are same. b) User should enter deskew and attenuation values manually as per probe (TCP0030A and P6022). c) License not enabled pop-up will come always, in the case of either of PAM3-FL or PAM3 license not installed. d) Minimizing the scope during execution will give empty plots in the report. e) Group Report By feature does not work, if column value reports N.A.
