The B_DDR3D_XX supports acquire two samples of valid Write data on each rising edge of the DDR3 clock. So to acquire both pieces of data the WrA_DatHi/Lo data groups must have their sample point set to that shown by Sample Pt. #1 in the Figure, and the WrB_DatHi/Lo data groups must have their sample point set to that shown by Sample Pt. #2.

NOTE - It is important to note that because of the design of the TLA acquisition card inputs and the Strobe activity prior to Write data being placed on the data bus it will appear as if the Strobes indicate valid Write data earlier than the data is actually there (see the circle indicated as Write Data Preamble in Figure 5). These Write Preamble Strobe edges should NOT be used to determine where valid Write data is on the data bus.

5.7 B_DDR3D_XX Support Setup

Using the B_DDR3D_XX supports it is possible to acquire both Read and Write data by setting the sample point of the data groups appropriately. To adjust the Read Data group sample points first make an appropriate acquisition of Read data by triggering on a Read command. Then create a timing window display of MagniVu data and display the Data_Hi and Data_Lo 32-bit data groups, the individual Command group signals and the DDR3 clock that was used for the data acquisition (DDRCK0). A sample waveform display of MagniVu Read data is shown in Figure 6. To determine the sample point, locate the smallest window of valid Read data during the acquired burst (see Figure 6). Note that in this instance the first piece of valid data happens significantly after the rising edge it is associated with. In fact the initial valid data appears at the DDR Clock falling edge. This delay must be taken into account or data will not be aligned properly in the Listing display window. Note that A and B data (corresponding to ADataHi/Lo and BDataHi/Lo data groups) have been indicated.
