Sampling Oscilloscope
The sampling oscilloscope is a function for monitoring the waveform of
the input signal. It requires a clock input sampling and the waveform is
drawn out of the clock timing. For a periodic signal like PRBS, the
waveform data is obtained by slightly varying the sampling timing. This
waveform data is drawn by superimposing the waveforms.

Jitter
Jitter is the variation in the time of the crossover point between the Eye
Diagram rising and falling parts of the waveform.
