8.2.3.3. Impairment

Note

For Chimera module only.

8.2.3.3.1. Bypass Mode

Set emulator bypass mode. Emulator bypass mode will bypass the entire emulator for minimum latency.

Corresponding low-level API class: M_EMULBYPASS

# Chimera - Bypass Mode
if isinstance(module, modules.ModuleChimera):
    await module.emulator_bypass_mode.set(on_off=enums.OnOff.ON)
    await module.emulator_bypass_mode.set_on()
    await module.emulator_bypass_mode.set(on_off=enums.OnOff.OFF)
    await module.emulator_bypass_mode.set_off()

    resp = await module.emulator_bypass_mode.get()
    resp.on_off

8.2.3.3.2. Latency Mode

Configures the latency mode for Chimera module. In extended latency mode, the FPGA allows all latency parameters to be 10 times higher, at the cost of reduced latency precision.

Note

When change the latency mode, all latency configurations are reset on all ports in chimera module.

Corresponding low-level API class: M_LATENCYMODE

# Chimera - Latency Mode
if isinstance(module, modules.ModuleChimera):
    await module.latency_mode.set(mode=enums.ImpairmentLatencyMode.NORMAL)
    await module.latency_mode.set_normal()
    await module.latency_mode.set(mode=enums.ImpairmentLatencyMode.EXTENDED)
    await module.latency_mode.set_extended()

    resp = await module.latency_mode.get()
    resp.mode

8.2.3.3.3. TX Clock Source

For test modules with advanced timing features, select what clock drives the port TX rates.

Corresponding low-level API class: M_TXCLOCKSOURCE_NEW

# Chimera - TX Clock Source
if isinstance(module, modules.ModuleChimera):
    await module.tx_clock.source.set(tx_clock=enums.TXClockSource.MODULELOCALCLOCK)
    await module.tx_clock.source.set_modulelocalclock()
    await module.tx_clock.source.set(tx_clock=enums.TXClockSource.P0RXCLK)
    await module.tx_clock.source.set_p0rxclk()
    await module.tx_clock.source.set(tx_clock=enums.TXClockSource.P1RXCLK)
    await module.tx_clock.source.set_p1rxclk()
    await module.tx_clock.source.set(tx_clock=enums.TXClockSource.P2RXCLK)
    await module.tx_clock.source.set_p2rxclk()
    await module.tx_clock.source.set(tx_clock=enums.TXClockSource.P3RXCLK)
    await module.tx_clock.source.set_p3rxclk()
    await module.tx_clock.source.set(tx_clock=enums.TXClockSource.P4RXCLK)
    await module.tx_clock.source.set_p4rxclk()
    await module.tx_clock.source.set(tx_clock=enums.TXClockSource.P5RXCLK)
    await module.tx_clock.source.set_p5rxclk()
    await module.tx_clock.source.set(tx_clock=enums.TXClockSource.P6RXCLK)
    await module.tx_clock.source.set_p6rxclk()
    await module.tx_clock.source.set(tx_clock=enums.TXClockSource.P7RXCLK)
    await module.tx_clock.source.set_p7rxclk()

    resp = await module.tx_clock.source.get()
    resp.tx_clock

8.2.3.3.4. TX Clock Status

For test modules with advanced timing features, check whether a valid clock is present.

Corresponding low-level API class: M_TXCLOCKSTATUS_NEW

# Chimera - TX Clock Status
if isinstance(module, modules.ModuleChimera):
    resp = await module.tx_clock.status.get()
    resp.status
