Steps for Setting Up Eye-Diagram Analysis
Steps for Setting Up Eye-Diagram Analysis
1 Connect the equipment.
2 Load the eye-diagram personality.
3 Complete the installation using the self-guided screens.
4 Set up the measurement conditions.
Connect the
Equipment You can connect the equipment in three possible configurations:
• With 70841A/B pattern generator and 70311 clock source modules. This is
the preferred configuration.
• With an 70841 pattern generator module with a non- 70311 clock source
module.
• With non- MMS70841 pattern generator and clock source modules.
Load the Eye-
Diagram
Personality Each time the 71501D is turned on, the 70874A eye-diagram analyzer person-
ality (part number 70874-10001) must be loaded into memory. This occurs
automatically if the 70874A memory card is inserted in the front-panel card
slot before the instrument is turned on. You can also load the personality in a
manual mode.
Complete the
Installation Using
Self-Guided
Screens Installing the eye-diagram analyzer is easy due to a series of self-guided
screens. Depending on the factory configuration of your system, one or more
of these screens may not be displayed.
After connecting the equipment and loading the program, you’ll need to
respond to a series of screens from which to select the following:
• The pattern generator used.
• The source of the 10 MHz frequency reference.
