Standalone IBERT Sweep Test Plot Viewer
The plot viewer in the Sweep Test panel of the IBERT Console can only be used to sweep
test results while you are connected to the live device under test. If you want to view the
sweep test results offline, you can use the standalone IBERT sweep test plot viewer:
•
On Windows (32-bit) platforms:
<install dir>\bin\nt\ibertplotter.exe
•
On Windows (64-bit) platforms:
<install dir>\bin\nt64\ibertplotter.exe
•
On Linux (32-bit) platforms:
<install dir>/bin/lin/ibertplotter
•
On Linux (64-bit) platforms:
<install dir>/bin/lin64/ibertplotter
You can use the standalone IBERT sweep test plot viewer to view CSV sweep test result
files that were created by running IBERT sweep tests on the following transceivers:
•
Spartan-6 FPGA GTP transceivers
•
Virtex-5 FPGA GTX transceivers
•
Virtex-6 FPGA GTX transceivers
•
Virtex-6 FPGA GTH transceivers
•
7 Series FPGA GTX transceivers
You can also use the IBERT sweep test plot viewer to view multiple sweep test result CSV
files at the same time. This is useful for comparing the results of different sweep test runs.
Help Pages
The ChipScope Pro Analyzer tool help pages contain information for only the currently
opened versions of the software and each of the core units. Selecting
Help > About:
ChipScope Software
displays the version of the software. Selecting
Help > About: Cores

be displayed by right-clicking on the unit in the project tree and selecting
Show Core Info
.
ChipScope Pro ILA Waveform Toolbar Features
In addition to the menu options, other ChipScope Pro Analyzer ILA waveform commands
are available on a toolbar residing directly below the ChipScope Pro Analyzer menu. The
second set of toolbar buttons is available only when the Trigger Setup window is open. The
third and fourth sets of toolbar buttons are only available when the Waveform window is
active.
The toolbar buttons correspond to the following equivalent menu options:
