Description

Number of invalid words to lose

sync

1–256

Specifies the number of invalid data codes or

disparity errors that must be received before the

word aligner loses synchronization. The default

is 3.

Number of valid data words to

decrement error count

1–256

Specifies the number of valid data codes that

must be received to decrement the error

counter. If the word aligner receives enough

valid data codes to decrement the error count to

0, the word aligner returns to synchronization

lock.

Run length detector word count

0–63

Specifies the maximum number of contiguous

0s or 1s in the data stream before the word

aligner reports a run length violation.
