sample_rate = 80e9  # 80 GSa/s
num_samples = int(duration * sample_rate)

time = np.linspace(0, duration, num_samples)
lane0_data = np.random.choice([-0.4, 0.4], size=num_samples)
lane1_data = np.random.choice([-0.4, 0.4], size=num_samples)

signal_data = USB4SignalData(

Best Practices

  1. Signal Quality: Always validate signal integrity before protocol testing
  2. Dual-Lane Analysis: Use both lanes for comprehensive USB4 validation
  3. Mock Testing: Leverage mock mode for CI/CD and development
  4. Reporting: Generate detailed reports for compliance documentation
  5. Performance Monitoring: Use trend analysis for regression detection

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

  1. Import Errors: Ensure mock mode is enabled for testing without hardware
  2. Signal Quality: Check sample rate and signal conditioning
  3. Lane Skew: Verify differential pair routing and termination
  4. Tunneling Issues: Validate bandwidth allocation and flow control

Debug Mode

Enable debug logging for detailed analysis:

import logging
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)

# Your USB4 validation code here
