Quick Setup & Automated Acquisition

Quick setup, automated analysis, and zero calibration provide results extremely quickly.

  • Zero calibration needed
  • Build custom test runs to zero in on compliance issues
  • Automated acquisition
  • Automated analysis
  • Memory controller & JEDEC parameters predefined
DDR3 Compliance Analysis - Simple Setup

Performance & Statistical Analysis

Extensive compliance, statistical, and performance analysis information are displayed in tabular and graphical displays. Exporting of data is also available for customized analysis. The metrics covered include:

  • Data bus performance
  • Rank / Bank / System Utilization
  • Actual transfer rate measurements
  • Compliance summaries with margins
  • Error (timing violation) reporting

Detailed Data at Your Fingertips

In addition to performance/statistical analysis and automated acquisition, detailed analysis results are also available for all acquisitions in a test run as well as all the acquired data from all acquisitions in a test run.

  • Quickly navigate through multiple acquisitions
  • Zero in on compliance problems right inside a waveform or listing window
  • Listing and waveform windows with compliance violations built in
  • Add cursors, jump to violations, see min/max measurements, lock data windows and more!
  • Multi-acquisition data management
