Description

Run a serial I/O analyzer link sweep scan to run multiple scans across a range of values.

To analyze the margin of a given link, it is often helpful to run a scan of the link using the specialized features of Xilinx UltraScale devices or 7 series FPGAs. It can also be helpful to run multiple scans on a the link with different configuration settings for the GTs. This can help you determine which settings are best for your design. The Vivado serial I/O analyzer feature enables you to define, run, and save link sweeps, or collections of link scans run across a range of values.

This command run analysis on the specified sweep scan objects. If running in a Tcl script, you can suspend the script while the sweep scan completes using the wait_on_hw_sio_sweep command. You can stop a running sweep scan using the stop_hw_sio_sweep command.

You can save the sweep scan to disk using the write_hw_sio_sweep command.

You can remove the created scan object using remove_hw_sio_sweep.

This command returns the hw_sio_sweep object, or returns an error if the command fails.

Arguments
