8b/10b Measurements Using Tektronix Oscilloscopes

The 8b/10b serial decode functionality in the Tektronix 5000/7000/70000 Series scopes is a convenient time-saver for serial design tasks. This will enable you to identify where control and data packets begin and end as well as identify subpacket components such as address, data, CRC, etc. All the way up to 30Gb/sec, depending on the scope's bandwidth and sample rate settings.
