Variable Crossover
For each channel, the cross over of the NRZ signal in PRBS or data
mode can be adjusted. This is used to artificially close the eye pattern
simulating distortion. Figure 1 shows the normal and complement out-
put with cross over point set to 50% and 70% respectively.
NOTE: Variable Crossover feature is available in NRZ mode only.
Pattern
There are two types of patterns available:
· Data
Arbitrary data up to the maximum available memory per channel can be setup as pattern data.
· PRBS
Predefined PRBS of 2
5
-1 to 2
31
-1 can be setup as pattern data.
Data Polarity
In pattern mode the polarity of the data can be set to either normal or inverted. When set to inverted, a logical
'1' will become a logical '0' at the output and vice versa.
Levels
· Pre-defined Levels
Pre-defined levels allow the easy setup of the channels for commonly used logic families. These are: ECL,
ECLGND, LVT, LVPCL and LVDS.
· Custom Levels
Levels can be set to custom values in either of two ways:
· low level - high level
· amplitude - offset
· Level Protection
Output levels can be limited to a user defined range to protect the device under test. Level protection can be
switched on and off.
· Level Polarity
Level polarity can be set to either normal or inverted. Set to inverted, the low level and the high level values are
interchanged.
Outputs Enable/Disable
Outputs can be switched on and off independently for each channel and for each normal/complement connector.
