3) CKdif f-DQse-DQSdiff 1333 Read Burst (3 Probes)
This configuration runs all of the tests that are run on read bursts of the DDR3 signals in which 3 probes
are required. All of the variables are set to their defaults. The limit set in use is DDR3-1333. The tests run
are:
• Eye Diagram – Read Bursts (Outputs)
• SRQr
• SRQf
• tDQSQ
• tQH
• tDQSCK
4) Eye Diagram (3 Probes Debug)
This configuration runs the Eye Diagram tests on both the read bursts and the write bursts. All of the
variables are set to their defaults. The limit set in use is DDR3-1333. The tests run are:
• Eye Diagram – Write Bursts (Inputs)
• Eye Diagram – Read Bursts (Outputs)
5) Eye Diagram with CS Enabled (4 Probes Debug)
This configuration runs the Eye Diagram tests on both the read bursts and the write bursts. All of the
variables are set to their defaults except the Use Chip Select is set to Yes. The limit set in use is DDR3-
1333. The tests run are:
• Eye Diagram – Write Bursts (Inputs)
• Eye Diagram – Read Bursts (Outputs)
