Chapter 3: Testing Logic Analyzer Performance

Testing the module using a 16700-series Mainframe

place the blue bars in the narrow eye. 

To re-align a stray channel

If the blue bar for a particular bit does not appear in its eye near the 
recommended starting position, then do the following steps to realign the 
sampling position of the stray channel. In the following example, the 
sampling position of one channel (Label1 [2]) must be realigned with the 
sampling position of the other channels. (The following example shows the 
analyzer in 600 Mb/s mode.)
