Application Notes

Zone Trigger Tap-To-Draw Custom Shapes

Teledyne LeCroy innovation inspired the new Zone Trigger "tap-to-draw" functionality, the fastest way to create useful, custom shapes that qualify trigger conditions and create unique ways to trigger on any oscilloscope signal.

X-Stream COM Object Programming with MATLAB

Understanding the MATLAB Syntax for Interfacing with the LeCroy X-Stream COM Object Server

Oscilloscope De-embedding Tools

Many tools exist to account for probe attenuation or remove cable propagation delay, but which is the right one to use? This paper summarizes the de-embedding methods available on most Teledyne LeCroy oscilloscopes.

Making Tx EQ Measurements with Your Oscilloscope

PCI Express 6.0 has 11 new presets and requires a method for measuring best-fit Tx EQ. SDAIII software can be used to easily make pulse measurements of Tx EQ for PCIe 6.0 testing.

Making New PCIe 6.0 Compliance Pattern Measurements with Your Oscilloscope

PCI Express 6.0 requires measurements of SNDR, RLM and package insertion loss using a new Compliance Pattern signal. Here’s how to use Teledyne LeCroy’s SDAIII software to quickly make these measurements.

How PAM4 Signaling is Changing PCIe 6.0 Jitter Measurements

PCI Express 6.0 adds multilevel PAM4 signal measurements and tighter tolerances to PCIe electrical test requirements. Here is a summary of what will be necessary to get your PCIe 6.0 designs up to speed.

What is 10Base-T1S Automotive Ethernet?

This technical brief describes the topology, signaling and PLCA operations related to the implementation of the 10Base-T1S Automotive Ethernet protocol.

Testing 10Base-T1S PLCA Timing and Signal Integrity

This application note explains how to use the 10Base-T1S TDME software option to measure Physical Layer Collision Avoidance (PLCA) cycle timing. It also discusses using the included eye diagram capabilities to debug signal integrity problems.

Configuring Dynamic Oscilloscope Measurements Using Advanced Customization (XDEV)

This application note outlines the process for configuring a dynamic measurement in which one parameter updates dynamically based on the result of another measurement parameter. By using the Advanced Customization (XDEV) software option on a Teledyne LeCroy oscilloscope, you can seamlessly and continuously provide the output of one parameter to the input of another parameter.

Measuring PCIe L1 Substate Timing with CrossSync PHY for PCIe

This application note describes how to use CrossSync PHY software with an oscilloscope and protocol analyzer to measure PCIe L1 substate timing and power consumption. It covers topics including triggering, probing, and setting up math traces.
