Connection Configuration
Change the configuration as needed:
The default display name of the target DSO can be edited as preferred
The IP of the DSO connected by writing it next to “IP” label
Name the DSO by populating the “Name” label
Click on the hardware radio button to use the instrument; fill in IP and Channel
External Clock Operation
Clock Input in normal mode ranges between 5 and 525 MHz:
Choose the Normal Operation radio button to use the onboard timing generator.
Enter the target line rate less Line Rate (Gbps) into the
Gbit Rate
field or choose a
Gbps value, example: 10.709, 10.625, 10.3125, 9.95328, 8.5, 6.25, 4.25 and 3.125
Specify the number of packets; it can be 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256 or 512
Each packet consists of 512 sample points per UI, which are duplicated when drawing the eye.
Eg: 256 packets correspond to 131072 points per pattern, and 262144 points per eye (131072
for each of the 2 UIs displayed in eye mode).

field
Enter the
External Reference Clock Frequency
in MHz or as a factor of the bit rate
Clock rate can vary from 50 MHz to 525 MHz, with an amplitude range from 0.05 to
1.5 Vpp
