Keysight N5990A-301 PCI Express Link Training Suite User Guide

Using the Software

Saving and Loading Settings

Click

Apply and Save

in the main menu or on the main window to

store the current settings. Note that before the settings are saved,

they are applied to the hardware. The settings are saved only when

they are successfully applied to the hardware, which guarantees

that only such settings that are consistent are saved.
Click

Load and Apply

to restore the settings at any time. The

restored settings are then immediately applied to the hardware.

Expert Mode

In the “Options” menu, you can enable “Expert Mode”. This mode is

recommended for advanced users and offers some more parameters to

modify. The main advantage of the Expert Mode is the possibility of editing the

link training sequence and pattern using a special script.

Exporting The Script

Once you have found a link training sequence suitable for the DUT, you may

want to export that sequence, either to use it later or to the automated test

solution software.
To export the script that is currently being used for the training sequence,

click

File > Export Script

. This saves the script to a file, regardless of whether

you defined it via parameters or by editing the PCIe generic script. The next

section provides details about the scripts.
