:TDR Deskew Commands

Command Syntax

:TDR:DESKew:STARt

Description

Starts the TDR Step Deskew Wizard that compensates for unequal TDR step paths to the measurement reference plane. For each channel, step skew and software delay are measured as needed. To manually enter TDR skew values, use the :TDR:STIMulus:CHANnel:SKEW command. If you will be performing a TDR calibration, you do not need to perform a TDR fixture deskew. The TDR calibration fully deskews the steps in addition to compensating the response of your fixture. If you are making TDT measurement and you are using a receiver module, such as an N1045A, to make these measurements, refer to the :TDR:DESKew:SCHannel command.

Requires FlexDCA revision A.04.00 and above.
