LeCroy Summit T3-16 PCI Express Protocol Analyzer Intro Presentation

The oscilloscope is the primary tool used by hardware design and test engineers. Understanding how DSP is used in modern digital oscilloscopes is key to understanding the performance advantages that can be obtained, and avoiding the pitfalls of poor implementations.

This paper discusses the common problem of making setup and hold measurements in memory systems where the desired probing point is inaccessible. Timing measurement problems of this type are problematic not only in skew due to incorrect probing locations, but also due to waveform distortions due to reflections created by various termination schemes.
