1. A method to measure skew between signals on channels in serial data communication comprising the step of:

  • finding the cross over points in an acquired signal from each of the combination of channels under test;

    converting the acquired signals into bit patterns;

    identifying bit pattern index of the converted bit patterns matching with a reference bit pattern;

    converting the bit pattern index of each of the identified matching bit patterns into record point;

    calculating the time difference between said record points on different channels to derive the skew value.
