The ratio of 1s to the PRBS pattern length is 50%.
Programmable Pattern
The Programmable Pattern is the pattern defined by the pattern file.
The Programmable Pattern is used when the following patterns are
required:
 Frame format pattern such as Ethernet and SDH
 Pattern captured from communication circuit data
 Specified test pattern
The restrictions when using the Programmable Pattern are:
 The occurrence ratio of “1” is 50% with ±1bit tolerance.
 The pattern length is 1305600 bits or less. When the file data length is
over 1305600 bits, the first 1305600 bits are used.
 When using pattern files created for existing Anritsu products, use
Pattern A only when the pattern file type is Alternate.
