Can I use SignalTap to probe LVDS transmitter output?

[Altera_Forum]

If I am using CII or SII, can I use SignalTap to debug a LVDS serializer output if the number of channels is 12 or 16? 

 I found this post on www.altera.com,   http://www.altera.com/support/kdb/solutions/rd07042005_25.html  How about for CII and SII devices? Is there bit width limitation?  Many Thanks!

The only LVDS limitation mentioned in the SignalTap chapter of the Quartus handbook: 

    --- Quote Start ---  Untappable Signals  Not all of the post-fitting signals in your design are available in the SignalTap II: post-fitting filter in the Node Finder dialog box. The following signal types cannot be tapped: ■ ... ■ LVDS—You cannot tap the data output from a serializer/deserializer (SERDES) block.  --- Quote End ---

Thanks Brad! 

 It is really bad news for me though. :( Wonder if there are other ways to probe a serializer output other than using an oscilloscope...

try post-fit simulation and DSO
