A serial link system is provided for determining a worst-case cumulative data eye. The system includes a transmitter, a receiver, and a channel between the transmitter and receiver such that data sent by the transmitter is received by the receiver through the channel. The channel includes a plurality of connections including a victim and at least first and second aggressors, with the victim being disposed between the first and second aggressors. The system also includes a controller constructed and arranged to determine a worst case cumulative data eye based on a data pattern of the victim, jitter on the victim, an effect a data and jitter pattern on the first aggressor has on the victim and an effect a data and jitter pattern of the second aggressor has on the victim and to combine the effects of the data pattern of the victim, the jitter on the victim and the effects of the first and second aggressors on the victim into a single pattern to determine cumulative data eye for use in a simulator.
