State
Activates the bit error rate measurement. Depending on the selected Mode , you can
execute the measurement continuously ("Auto") or once ("Single"). To start a single
measurement, select "Execute Single".
Remote command:
:BERT:STATe
on page 542
Bit Error Rate
Displays the measured bit error rate.
The bit error rate is the ratio of occurred errors to transmitted data bits.
The display unit can be selected in the box to the right of the value.
"ENG"
The bit error rate is output in exponential notation with the exponent -3
or
-6
.
"SCI" The bit error rate is output in scientific notation, i.e. standardized to
one place to the left of the decimal.
"%" The bit error rate is output in percent.
"ppm" The bit error rate is output in parts per million.
