• Accumulated errored O’s and 1’s
• G.821
• Error-free intervals
• Accumulated parameters
• Burst results
3. Eye results

Data Inputs (DATA IN)
Clock Inputs (CLK IN)
The error detector requires an external clock signal
to sample data or it can recover the clock from the
data signal using the built-in clock data recovery
(CDR).
