SECTION 4 – GigaView Software
Introducing GigaView Software
WAVECREST’s GigaView software is the latest software package to address the growing needs of the
electronics industry for analyzing Signal Integrity. Jitter is a major cause of data signal fidelity loss.
GigaView software provides the tools necessary to quantify and isolate these and many more timing
anomalies.
GigaView software provides one of the most comprehensive jitter analysis software packages on the market
today. The Windows

-based GUI, Measurement Wizard and online help will enable new users to confidently
acquire useful data in seconds. Even inexperienced users will be capable of making measurements of
accumulated jitter, low and high frequency modulation and frequency locktime enabling them to characterize
and fully understand the performance of their clock signal. Furthermore, the addition of macros allows users
to perform routine tasks at the click of a button.
GigaView may be used as a jitter analysis tool for a variety of data communication protocols including
Fibre Channel and Gigabit Ethernet.
GigaView is a comprehensive data analysis package that includes
patented algorithms capable of separating total jitter (TJ) into its deterministic jitter (DJ) and random
jitter (RJ) components and the capability to predict the long-term reliability of systems and components
in seconds.
