Making a SATA II Hardware CR Compliance Measurement
Setup Directions
This tool is able to measure SATA Gen 1x and Gen2x usage models. While there are a number of patterns
that are defined in the specification, this tool does not require a repeating pattern.
The Data signal is connected to the input of the Multi-Rate Clock Recovery (see figure below). Note that
the Inverting input is on the left and the non-inverting input is on the right. SMA jumpers must be
connected from the MCR output to the input of channel 1 (IN1).
• From the Main Menu, press "Data Standards" and "Serial ATA".
• Choose the "SATA II Hardware CR" tool to measure Gen1x or Gen2x.
• Choose the Compliance point (TX, RX for Gen 2x or Gen 1x usage models).
The Tool will automatically set the Multi-rate Clock recovery to the appropriate data rate. You should ensure
that the voltage correction is checked in the Clock Recovery configuration menu. This selection compensates
for the jumpers and should be checked when the SMA jumpers are present.
• Press "Run"
to perform the measurement. Several views are available once the measurement is
complete. All views are displayed with the results summarized to the left of the plot.
