Method and apparatus for generating jitter test patterns on a high performance serial bus
First Claim
1. In a P1394b-compliant data communications system having a device under test operatively coupled to second device, a method for generating random jitter test patterns comprising:
- generating, by the second device, a sequence of maximum size asynchronous packets according to the P1394b standard; and
transmitting, by said second device, said sequence to the device under test.

Abstract
The present invention provides a method for generating random jitter test patterns by generating a sequence of maximum-size asynchronous packets according to the P1394b standard and transmitting the sequence to the device under test. The present invention provides a method for generating jitter test patterns by disabling the transmitter data scrambler of the second device; clearing the port_error register of the device under test; and sending a test pattern to said device under test. The present invention provides for a method for generating supply noise test patterns comprising: transmitting a test pattern to the DUT comprising a maximum length asynchronous packet containing alternate 0016 and FF16 bytes.
