D1) Demo of All Tests
This configuration uses the saved waveforms found in the D:\Waveforms\DDR3 folder and run all of the
tests. All of the variabl es are set to their defaults except Use Stored Waveforms is set to Yes and Use
Stored Trace for Speed Grade is set to Yes. The limit set in use is DDR3-1333. All supported tests are
run.

General Variables
The following variables are used by all configurations. They can be used in conjunction with the test
selection and limit set selection to create custom configurations.
DU T S p e ed Gr a de in M T/ s
Transfer speed of the DUT. Used to set the oscilloscope timebase and sampling rate, see Clock Period
Per Screen Division variable for more explanation. Choose between: 800, 1066, 1333, 1600 MT/s or
custom. Default is 1333MT/s.
