JULY 2006 OIF WORKSHOP “STATEYE TUTORIAL AND DEMO”

OIF Workshop – StatEye Tutorial and Demo

July 31, 2006
Vancouver, BC Canada

The OIF hosted a full-day workshop on StatEye (open to the pubic)

StatEye is open-source software that was developed to facilitate frequency domain analysis of high-speed serial links. It is an integral part of the channel compliance methodology of the Optical Internetworking Forum (OIF) Common Electrical Interface Specification (CEI), which supports 6 and 11 Gb/s links. The OIF recently funded a significant upgrade of this open-source software, enabling it to handle cross-talk effectively as well as adding a GUI and an XML framework
