Block Diagram Figure 2-6 shows the main hardware blocks that make up the instrument. This section describes these hardware blocks to provide the background knowledge necessary to use the instrument effectively. Inhibit Input Event Input Pattern Generation Unit Pattern Control Circuit Output Channels Pattern Memory Clock Output Event Output Sync Output Sequence Memory Pattern Generation Unit (Option 01) Clock Input Clock Unit Data Output (CH0 to CH3) Data Output (CH4 to CH7) Clock Trigger Input Bus PLL GPIB RS232C Front Panel CPU Unit CPU ROM RAM GPIB RS232C Display Floppy Disk Drive Figure 2Ć6: Hardware block diagram 2Ć8 DG2030 User Manual Artisan Technology Group - Quality Instrumentation ... Guaranteed | (888) 88-SOURCE | www.artisantg.com Operating Basics CPU Unit The CPU unit controls the instrument. The CPU unit includes ROM, RAM, and an I/O interface. The ROM memory holds the program code that implements all the supported functions. The ROM contents are loaded at the factory. The RAM memory holds a variety of information required by the CPU. The contents of RAM change according to the instrument’s operating state. Since the contents of RAM are retained by a built-in battery even when the instrument is turned off, the main instrument settings will still be in effect the next time the instrument is turned on. The pattern data memory and the sequence data memory, which are described later as a conceptual data model, are actually stored in one section of this RAM. External interfaces include GPIB and RS-232 interfaces for remote control, a floppy disk drive controller, and a user interface consisting of the display and the front panel. Pattern Generation Unit The pattern generation unit generates digital pattern signals based on the pattern data and sequence data specified by the user. This unit includes a pattern control circuit, pattern memory, and sequence memory. Pattern memory and sequence memory are high-speed memories that hold the pattern data and sequence data, which are described later in this section. These memories supply pattern data to the pattern control circuit. Clock Unit The clock unit generates the clock signals that generate the data patterns. It also detects and synchronizes external trigger signals. You can select whether the phase-lock-loop (PLL) circuit is used in clock signal generation or not. When the PLL circuit is used (PLL on), the clock unit generates a clock signal synchronized to an internal crystal oscillator. This provides an output with excellent frequency precision. When the PLL circuit is not used (PLL off), the clock unit can generate a clock output synchronized with an external trigger signal, although the frequency precision is lower. The PLL circuit can be turned on or off depending on the application. Output Channels The output channels provide variable output levels and digital signals to the device under test. The output channels level-convert the pattern signals from the pattern generation unit to output signals appropriate for the device under test. They also handle fine adjustment of specific bit timing. DG2030 User Manual Artisan Technology Group - Quality Instrumentation ... Guaranteed | (888) 88-SOURCE | www.artisantg.com 2Ć9 Operating Basics Inhibit Function The output channels support a function that sets their outputs to the high-impedance state. Inhibit level and inhibit control can be set, as parameters, for each output channel. For all channels, the external or internal inhibit signal, or the logical OR of those two signals can be selected as the high-impedance control signal. Channel 0 controls the internal inhibit. Inhibit Input or CH0 T1 T1 Data Output T1: The delay time from an external inhibit input or a CH0 signal until the corresponding data output goes to the highĆimpedance state, or the delay from the highĆimpedance state until highĆ or lowĆlevel data is available. Refer to Figure AĆ2 on page AĆ5 for more information. Figure 2Ć7: Inhibit Operation Timing Display and Front Panel The display and front panel implement the user interface. The display is a 16-level monochrome 640 480 pixel CRT. The front panel consists of menu buttons, numeric keys, bezel buttons, a general-purpose knob for changing numeric values and item selection, and several signal output connectors. Data Structure Overview To make full and efficient use of the DG2030, you need to understand the DG2030 data structures. This section presents an overview of the pattern data, setup data, and sequence data. Figure 2-8 shows the DG2030 data structures that are described in the following sections. Table 2-2 lists the data structure related technical terms that appear frequently in the operating procedure descriptions. 2Ć10 DG2030 User Manual Artisan Technology Group - Quality Instrumentation ...

Guaranteed | (888) 88-SOURCE | www.artisantg.com 2Ć11 Operating Basics Pattern Data Pattern data is the basic data that defines the digital signals to be output. The pattern data is a collection of 8-bit words. The total number of words is called the memory size. The memory size can be any value from a minimum of 90 words to a maximum of 256 K words (262,144). Once pattern data has been transferred to the pattern memory in the pattern generation unit hardware it can actually be output as digital signals. Pattern memory consists of 8-bit words, with the 8 bits in a one-to-one correspondence with the 8 output channels. The definition of the relationship between pattern data bits and pattern memory bits is called output channel allocation. The pattern data to pattern memory transfer operation is either performed automatically each time the data is modified, or you can manually cause the transfer to occur. This is called the data update mode, and it can be selected by user. Setup Data There are a large number of settings that define data structures and relationships between data items and that specify output channel states and other parameters. These settings are collectively referred to as the setup data. Since this data is associated with the pattern data, it is handled together with the pattern data in operations such as saving instrument settings and data to a floppy disk. The setup data includes a wide range of settings, including output voltage levels, slope of edge, delay, high impedance control, clock frequency and PLL settings in addition to the definitions described here. 2Ć12 Groups Although each bit in the pattern data can be defined independently, it is easier to edit and display data if multiple bits are collected and handled as a single group. Any set of bits can be assigned as a group. However, the bits assigned to a group must be adjacent to each other. For example, D0 through D3 can be assigned into a group, but D0, D1, and D5 can not (D1 and D5 are not adjacent). Blocks Pattern data can be divided into blocks. A block is a user-specified range of pattern data identified with a unique label. Blocks are divided by setting delimiters called block delimiters. Block delimiters are set in word units. Sequences, which are described later, control data output in block units. DG2030 User Manual Artisan Technology Group - Quality Instrumentation ... Guaranteed | (888) 88-SOURCE | www.artisantg.com Operating Basics Sequence Data The sequence data is a program that specifies the order in which the pattern data is output. The sequence data is used to set up operations such as iteratively putting out blocks of pattern data for a specified number of times, and jumping to a specified block when an external event occurs. Sequences allow long patterns to be set up without preparing large quantities of data. Sequences can include other sequences (called subsequences) so that you can make complex sequence program easier. Sequence data is transferred to the pattern generation unit sequence memory, and controls the operation of the pattern control circuit. Using the run mode, which is described in detail later, you can select whether all the sequence data is valid or whether enhanced mode settings such as event jumps in the sequence are ignored. Operating Modes Overview Run Modes In the run modes, pattern output is controlled by the pattern generation unit’s pattern control circuit. The DG2030 supports four run modes: repeat, single, step, and enhanced. These run modes are specified with the SETUP → Run Mode menu. Table 2-3 provides functional information for each mode. Table 2Ć3: Run modes Run mode Function Repeat Repeats the pattern data from the first to last data point indefinitely. If a sequence is defined, iterates the output according to that sequence. Single Outputs the pattern data once from the first to last data point in point order. If a sequence is defined, outputs the pattern once according to that sequence. Step Operates identically to repeat mode, except that just one data point is output each time the STEP/EVENT button is pressed. Enhanced Same as Repeat with the addition that event jumps and trigger waits are also effective. NOTE. The Repeat, Single, and Step modes ignore the event jump and trigger wait settings. DG2030 User Manual Artisan Technology Group - Quality Instrumentation ... Guaranteed | (888) 88-SOURCE | www.artisantg.com 2Ć13 Operating Basics Update Modes When pattern data or sequence data is created or edited, or the output channel allocations are changed, the pattern that is actually output will not be updated until the new settings are transferred to the pattern generation unit. There are two update methods: auto and manual. The update modes are set up with the Update item in the SETUP ! Run Mode menu. Table 2-4 provides functional information for both modes. Table 2Ć4: Update modes Update mode Function Auto Changes are reflected in the hardware as soon as they are entered. Manual Changes are reflected in the hardware when specified by you. NOTE. The response to edit operations while in Auto mode may be slow when there is a large amount of data being edited. In such cases, it is more efficient to perform a number of edit operations and then update the output data in manual mode. 2Ć14 DG2030 User Manual Artisan Technology Group - Quality Instrumentation ...

The input value is confirmed automatically without pressing the ENTER key. 2Ć20 DG2030 User Manual Artisan Technology Group - Quality Instrumentation ... Guaranteed | (888) 88-SOURCE | www.artisantg.com Basic Menu Operation Use the following procedure to change a value with the general purpose knob. 1. Press the button for the menu item to be changed. 2. Use the left and right arrow buttons to move the underscore line to the digit to be modified. The front panel arrow buttons control the amount of change that can be achieved with the general purpose knob. Pressing the a button moves the underscore one digit to the left and thus multiplies the effect of turning the general purpose knob by ten. Inversely, pressing the ' button moves the underscore one digit to the right and reduces the effect of turning the general purpose knob by a factor of ten. 3. Change the value by turning the general purpose knob. Pattern Data Display Format You can display pattern data in one of three formats: timing display, table display, and binary display. Use the EDIT ! Settings item to select the display format. Figures 2-14 through 2-16 show the three display formats.

The TIming display shows the data so that data transitions and the relationships between bits can be easily grasped. The Table display format shows the data for each clock as numeric values for each group. The Binary display format shows the data bit states for each clock as 0 or 1. This is the basic display for digital signals, and is an appropriate format for handling data in bit units. If no groups are defined, data can only be displayed in binary format. 2Ć22 DG2030 User Manual Artisan Technology Group - Quality Instrumentation ... Guaranteed | (888) 88-SOURCE | www.artisantg.com Basic Menu Operation Note that the values of the grouped data are displayed with the bits that form those groups converted to hexadecimal in the Timing and Table display formats. Displaying multiple bits grouped in this manner is called bus display. The binary display format displays each bit independently, regardless of the group definitions. While the same output results whichever display format is selected, these display formats have the following distinguishing features. Use these different formats according to your needs. Edit Operations The DG2030 user interface eliminates problems found in many other graphical signal editors. Most user interfaces that adopt graphical menu items execute editing operations as soon as that operation is selected from a menu. This method has the problem that operation becomes inefficient if the same operation must be repeated many times. Another problem is that the screen area is not large enough to make selections from the editing operations menu items while checking the data being edited on the screen. The DG2030’s user interface was designed with these points in mind. The DG2030 pattern data editing functions separates the selection and execution of editing operations. The different editing operations are selected from the EDIT ! Execute Action menu. Pressing the front panel EXECUTE button executes the selected operation. Editing can be accomplished quickly by using the general purpose knob and the CURSOR button to move the cursor and then pressing the EXECUTE button. Figure 2-17 shows the procedure used to select the Invert data editing operation and then invert data bits at three locations.

In this operation, the data in the area specified by the area cursor is copied to the edit buffer memory. The paste operation is an example where the point cursor is used. In this operation, data that was previously loaded into the edit buffer memory is copied into pattern memory at the point specified by the point cursor. The area cursor’s area is determined by a combination of an area origin (as defined by a data group and a sample point position), the number of points (which corresponds to the width of the area) and the scope (which corresponds to the height of the area). The origin data group is set with the up and down arrow buttons. The area cursor origin sample point is displayed in the Cursor window at the upper left of the screen in the same way as the point cursor is displayed, and can be manipulated in the same way as the point cursor. The width of the area cursor is displayed in the Width window, and can be set with the general purpose knob or numeric keys when the knob icon has been moved to the Width window using the CURSOR button. Use the EDIT ! Execute Action ! Set Scope item to set the area cursor height. The position of the point cursor is determined by a data group and a sample point.

This section defines how the data is formatted for importing into the DG2030. The CSV format is defined as follows: ÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁ ÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁ ÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁ ÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁ ÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁ ÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁ ÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁ ÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁ ÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁ ÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁ ÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁ ÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁ ÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁ <1DB0><Comma><1DB1><Comma>.....<1DBx><CR> ! The number of bits defines (x) defines the width of the pattern <2DB0><Comma><2DB1><Comma>.....<2DBx><CR> ! ... ... ... ... ... ... Second word ... <yDB0><Comma><yDB1><Comma>.....<yDBx><CR> ! The number of lines (y) defines the depth of the pattern When formatting data in the CSV format, note the following: H Each data byte is defined by the ASCII character: zero <0>, ASCII 48 or one <1>, ASCII 49 H Each data byte is separated by the ASCII character: comma <,> (ASCII 44), space (ASCII 32), or TAB (ASCII 9) H Each line is terminated with the ASCII character: carriage return <CR>, ASCII 13 H The number of bits in a line defines the word width. For example, if the first line consists of pattern: 1,0,1,1 then the word width is 4 bits wide H The number of lines in the file defines the number of words in the pattern. For example, 10 lines defines 10 data words. H The DG2030 CSV format file is a DOS compatible file formatted as defined above with a .CSV file extension. CSV Format Example. To export a 8-bit pattern that is 3 words long, create the following data, as an example, and save it using filename: PATTERN.CSV. This can be created using a spreadsheet program, a text editor, or a custom filter program to convert data from one format to another. 1,0,1,0,1,0,0,1<CR> 1,0,0,0,1,1,0,1<CR> 0,0,1,0,1,0,1,1<CR> NOTE. Bit pattern data must have at least 90 words. Above pattern data can not be read into the DG2030. Note that this is a simple example. 3Ć14 DG2030 User Manual Artisan Technology Group - Quality Instrumentation ... Guaranteed | (888) 88-SOURCE | www.artisantg.com Edit Menu Once the data words have been imported, parameters including clock rate, output levels and inter-channel timing need to be set since the CSV format does not transfer this information. After all operating parameters have been set, the entire pattern can be stored on a floppy for non-volatile storage. The entire pattern will fit on one floppy since the DG2030 uses an instrument specific binary format that is more compact than ASCII format. Importing Large Data Files. It may be possible to create a large CSV file. Depending on what kind of operation is currently performed, the DG2030 may not allocate the internal work space for creating CSV format data larger than 32768 words. An extreme example is a 8-bit wide word pattern that has 262144 (256 k) words. In this example, the export file would be over 4 megabytes long. For the data to fit to work space and onto a floppy disk capacity, the pattern must be segmented into 32 k (32768 words) blocks and saved to separate floppy disks. To import the data do the following: 1. Insert the floppy with the first 32 k words into the drive. 2. Select File ! Import Data and select a file to be imported. 3. Press the OK button. The Import Configuration popup menu appears. This menu allows you to configure how the data will be imported. In this example, only the Dest Start point will be modified. 4. Set the Dest Start point to zero for the first floppy disk. 5. Set the Dest Start point to 32768 for the second floppy disk. 6. Set the Dest Start point to 65536 for the third floppy disk. 7. Repeat above step as incrementing the Dest Start point by 32768 until the data from the last floppy disk is read. Once the data words have been imported, parameters including clock rate, output levels and inter-channel timing need to be set since the CSV format does not transfer this information. After all operating parameters have been set, the entire pattern can be stored on a floppy for non-volatile storage. The entire pattern will fit on one floppy since the DG2030 uses an instrument specific binary format that is more compact than ASCII format.

Input of each data value finishes, and the data is set, when the number of input digits is sufficient to set all the bits in the group. There is no need to press the enter button. When the scope is only one group deep (or one bit deep for binary format), the cursor moves along the data by the number of points in a step for each input operation. The next input operation will then set the data at the new cursor position for the same group. However, when the scope is more than one group deep (or more than one bit deep for binary format), the cursor does not immediately move.

The shift register pseudo random pulse generator consists of a register with between 1 and 32 bits and a feedback loop. This feedback loop takes the value that is shifted out of the register, performs the exclusive OR with one or more bits within the register, and places the result in the first bit of the register. The position at which an exclusive OR is set is called a tap, and certain tap configurations produce series that are the longest possible. The data generated by such a configuration is called an M-series. If the number of stages in the shift register is n, then an M-series pseudo-random signal will have a length of 2n–1.

Figure 3-45 shows the Edit Code Table menu, which is displayed when the Edit Table Data side menu item is selected. The SOURCE CONDITION section of this table defines the templates used for pattern matching. The instrument compares these templates with data sequences in the source data to find matching patterns.

In these files a comma is used to delimit fields, and CR+LF to delimit lines. No spaces appear in the file. Pattern matching is performed in order starting at the top of the table. Pattern matching is more reliable if templates with more bits (longer templates) appear towards the top of the table. The matching process moves along the input data as follows. The current position is set to the start point, and the table is used to find a match for the data at that position. When a match is found, the output code for that template is written to the destination. The current position is then moved on by the width of the pattern in the CURRENT column.

In the sequence table, repeat count, trigger wait, event jump and calling subsequences are used, as well as placing the blocked patterns in a sequential order. H The blocked patterns are output in the line-numbered order defined in the sequence table. H A patterned data or subsequence can be defined in each line in the sequence table. H A line can be repeated on output from 1 to 65536 times or infinitely. H A line can wait trigger event for output. H A line can be jumped to a specified line by the trigger of event signal.

Guaranteed | (888) 88-SOURCE | www.artisantg.com Edit Menu Limitations on Using Subsequences The following list describes limitations on using subsequences: H Each line can contain only one data pattern block H Each line can be repeated up to 65,536 times H Each subsequence can contain up to 256 lines H You can define up to 50 subsequences Sequence memory usage. Sequence memory controls the maximum number of subsequence calls and their repeat counts that can be run. When you run a sequence, the DG2030 compiles the sequence and subsequence lines into internal codes that are stored in the sequence memory. The DG2030 then uses the sequence memory code to output the block data. There is one internal code item for each sequence line except for lines that contains a subsequence call. For subsequence calls without a repeat count, the DG2030 compiles a number of internal code items equal to the number of lines in the subsequence. For subsequence calls with a repeat count, the DG2030 compiles a number of internal code items equal to the repeat count for that subsequence call times the number of lines in the subsequence. For example, if a sequence line has a subsequence call with the repeat count of 25 and that subsequence has two lines, the DG2030 generates 50 internal code items for that sequence line and stores them in the sequence memory. This occurs for each subsequence call. Figure 3-48 illustrates how the DG2030 compiles the sequence and subsequences into the internal codes and stores them in the sequence memory. Defining subsequence calls with large repeat counts can generate internal code that consumes a large amount of sequence memory. This can result in insufficient memory errors. The DG2030 does not check for sequence memory availability errors. If you run a sequence and the DG2030 displays a memory error message, reduce the number of subsequence calls, number of repeat counts and/or number of lines in the subsequences.

This is called the event jump function. The event jump function can be applied to any line in the sequence program with the Make Sequence ! Set Enhanced Control ! Event Jump menu item. In enhanced mode, after the block data for a sequence program for which the event jump function has been set has finished outputting, the DG2030 determines whether to perform an event jump. The fact that an event request occurred is stored in a flip-flop in the pattern control circuit when either a low level to high level transition occurs in the event input, or the front panel STEP/EVENT button is pressed. Then, when the end of the output of the block in a line for which the Event Jump item is set approaches, the DG2030 checks the state of that flip-flop, activates the event jump operation, and clears the flip-flop. Keep it in mind that, even in the trigger wait state and during the output of data for a block for which the Event Jump item was set to off, a rising edge in the signal applied to the event input is seen as an event request, and causes the next event jump operation to occur. 3Ć60 DG2030 User Manual Artisan Technology Group - Quality Instrumentation ... Guaranteed | (888) 88-SOURCE | www.artisantg.com Edit Menu The event jump operation occurs even if the block pattern has not been output for the number of repeats set in the sequence program. When an event jump operation occurs, a positive TTL-level pulse 40 to 50 clocks wide is output from the front panel event output connector 48 to 53 clocks before the block pattern switches. Event Input Clock Output Event Reception Period for Block B 47 Clock Cycles + T1 Refer to Note Below 48 to 53 Clock Cycles + T1 48 to 53 Clock Cycles + T2 Event Output T3 Data Output Block A 45 to 50 Clock Cycles T3 The nth Output of Block B Block C n: A value between 1 and the value determined by the iteration count T1: The event input delay time T2: The event output delay time T3: The delay time between clock output and data output Note: If an event exists before the event out starts rising, the event jump will be made at the next block. If the the event is coming after the event out starts rising, the event jump will be performed at the block after the next block. The number of clock varies depending on the pattern size of that block. This is because the clock is generated from the ECL clock circuit by dynamically dividing into 9 or 10 cycles.
