Description

To analyze the margin of a given link, it is often helpful to run a scan of the link using the specialized Eye Scan hardware of Xilinx® UltraScale™ devices or 7 series FPGAs. The Vivado® serial I/O analyzer feature lets you to create, run, and save link scans.

This command creates and returns a link scan object that you can use with the run_hw_sio_scan command to run analysis on the specified links, or GT receivers. You can also save the scan to disk using the write_hw_sio_scan command.
