Configure Array

(CNG)

Configure the array - determine the location of individual tiles using the neighbourhood information and set the crop windows of all the tiles.

Link Quality

(LNQ?)

Request the link quality of the select MicroTiles. This is used to indicate the quality of the communication link (High Speed Serial Link) between MicroTiles.

Example:

(LNQ?)

(LNQ!

Index Serial Ch1 Error Count Ch2 Error Count

0 0x0023ed84 0 0

1 0x0023effb 30 0

2 0x0024ccc3 0 8

3 0x0024cfd9 0 32

)

This indicates tile 1 has 30 errors on Ch1 (HSSL Port 1) and tile 3 has 32 errors on Ch2 (HSSL Port 2).

A small amount of errors are normal, as long as they are not increasing on subsequent requests.

(LNQ+REST)

Reset the error count on channel 1 (HSSL Port 1) and channel 2 (HSSL Port 2).

Notes:

1. 
   The user should reset the error count first with (LNQ+REST) before requesting link quality.
   
2. 
   The user should perform multiple requests (LNQ?) to see if the error count increase in subsequent request.
   
3. 
   Under normal operating condition, the error count shall be stable and not increasing. Rapidly increasing error count usually indicates cabling issue.
