N4916B System Setup Calibration
N4916B System Setup Calibration
The input timing of the N4916B has to be calibrated to ensure error free operation
for all data rates. This calibration is required once for a dedicated setup of N4903B,
N4916B and the cable kit being used, and has to be repeated whenever one of
these are changed in the setup.
N O T E
The Input Timing setting that is determined during this calibration is only valid for
all data rates when using the N4915A-010 cable kit.
For all other cables, this calibration has to be done for each data rate that has to be
set using the N4916B De-Emphasis Signal Converter.
Maintaining a list of proper Input Timing Settings to data rates and use of the correct
setting for a dedicated data rate is up to the user when not using the cable kit.
