As data rates rise, signal integrity challenges compound quickly. Channel loss and intersymbol interference compress eye openings, impedance discontinuities introduce reflections, and even your measurement setup—probes, cables, and fixtures—can shift the effective observation point away from the device pins.

Tektronix’s Signal Integrity Modeling software (SIM) brings de-embedding, embedding, and equalization directly onto the oscilloscope, allowing you to remove or simulate the effects of cables, fixtures, and channels in real time. This lets you analyze signals at the true reference plane and explore “what-if” scenarios without leaving the bench. By eliminating setup-induced distortion, SIM helps you avoid two costly pitfalls: false failures and false confidence.
