4.3.5.4. QSFP Test

Select Configure with QSFP Design to launch the QSFP test application.

The BTS automatically enables the specific application after downloading the design file (.sof).

Figure 36. QSFP Test Entry
  • Data Type: The Data Type control specifies the type of data pattern contained in the transactions. Select the following available data types for analysis:
    • PRBS7: Pseudo-random 7-bit binary sequences.
    • PRBS15: Pseudo-random 15-bit binary sequences.
    • PRBS23: Pseudo-random 23-bit binary sequences.
    • PRBS31: Pseudo-random 31-bit binary sequences (default).
  • Error Control: This control displays data errors detected during analysis and allows you to insert errors.
    • Detected Errors: Displays the number of data errors detected in the received bitstream.
    • Inserted Errors: Displays the number of errors inserted into the transmit data stream.
    • Bit Error Rate: Calculates the bit error rate of the transmit data stream.
    • Insert Action: Insert a one-word error into the transmit data stream each time you click the button. Insert error is only enabled during transaction performance analysis.
    • Clear Action: Resets the Detected Errors counter and Inserted Errors counter to zeros.
  • Run Control
    • TX and RX Performance Bars: Show the percentage of the maximum theoretical data rate that the requested transactions are able to achieve.
    • Start: This control initiates the loopback tests.
    • Data Rate: Displays the XCVR type and data rate of each channel.
