Equipment conguration/program installation
The eyeline application will only work with the following pattern generators:
HP 71603B
HP 71604B
HP 70841B
HP 71612A
HP 70843A
In the application, the trigger output (not the clock output) of the pattern
generator is controlled via HP-IB by the instrument. The trigger output (not
the clock output) from the pattern generator must be connected to the trigger
input on the instrument. A void excessive signal levels . On the HP 83480A,

The HP-IB cable should be connected from the analyzer to the BERT . When
using the 3 Gb BERT , congured with the pattern generator as a master ,
the HP-IB cable should be connected to the MMS mainframe containing the
pattern generator . If the pattern generator is slaved to an error detector ,
