When viewing eye patterns you either have to have the scope trigger on =
a clock signal that has a frequency of the max data transfer rate. If =
you are looking at 100 MB/sec then you need a stable synchronous clock =
of 100 MHz. You cannot trigger on the signal you are trying to =
observe. You then can set the display on the scope to be in =
persistence or whatever to get the best display. Any scope will do eye =
patterns, some just add more processing and display features.

Hi Samuel,
Thank you for your helps.
The signal I measured is a differential type signal, swing from +1 V =
to -1V
volt. I triggered the signal with edge type .
The scope can catch the signal well without moving and therefore, no =
eye
pattern shown.=20
Would you please provide more detail instructions to show the ways of =
doing?
I appreciate you for helps.

John,
This is Samuel Lai from Micron Taiwan. The below is the advice from =
Micron
Boise lab. FYI.
DPO is a Tektronix gimmick that not many people use. We do data and =
address
eyes all the time with our Agilent Infinium scopes. It can also be =
done
pretty easy on Tek scopes. Trigger on a setup violation for instance. =
Or
you can just trigger on a clock and capture all transitions. If you =
are
looking for a specific command, you might need to qualify with a state.
Then put the display of the signals to infinite persistence or even =
variable
persistence. The 694 colors all channels to one color, I believe, =
which
makes it hard to read. The newer scopes put all signals to their own =
colors
like the Agilent ones. Then you can use the cursors to measure the =
worst
case setup and holds for both high going and low going patterns.
Also, Infinium has a lot of features like masking that will allow you =
to
measure an eye, and then turn it into a mask. Then any violations to =
the
mask are recorded or stopped on.
Let me know if I should send some waveforms or anything. DPO is just =
DSO
with infinite persistence on.
