Synchronized Analog and Digital
Display
The N8815A 64b/66b decode software provides the ability to
perform 64b/66b bit and 8b/10b based packet decoding via
a Keysight exclusive technique to capture and display serial
data synchronized with the analog view of traffic of a serial
data stream. Decode is displayed directly on the analog
waveform as well as in the decode list with associated time
and index displays.
In conjunction with the decode list, using the multi-grid
waveform display you can simultaneously display analog
bi-directional waveforms with corresponding decode listings.
The unique packet-waveform correlation marker “blue line”
allows for convenient and intuitive correlation of analog and
digital domains. You can easily scroll to analog anomalies
that are visually distinct, making navigating and checking for
errors easy, even for industry leading record depths.

making it easy to identify problems in the system
The expandable decode list provides an extendable indexed
view of packet decode for users who are more accustomed
to logic analyzer “vertical style” packet decode traffic list-
ings. The list includes color-coded packet types for easier
visual searching of traffic patterns as well as a blue highlight
that shows the packet that corresponds to the “blue line” in
the waveform view. The side bar also shows how much of
the waveform display is on the screen by providing a gray
background on the index field, as shown in Figure 5.
