To use
■
From the Stop Condition tab, select the Stop When condition. You can stop manually, after a preset count or time that you
specify, or on an error.
NOTE. Use large numbers for bit count tests: at 6 Gb/s, 60 billion tests take 10 seconds.
■
Select and setup the actions to perform when the stop condition is met. Using these actions, you can preserve the
information captured by the oscilloscope. You must setup the email address and the SMTP server for Send E-mail to work.

Error detector overview
Error detector is not available on DPO70000SX instruments.
The typical error detector startup sequence can be summarized as:
■ Select a Preset Setup
■ Press Sync
■ Press Learn (if visible)
■ Press Run
The Sync operations gets the oscilloscope synchronized to the signal, the Learn operation acquires the signal pattern into
oscilloscope memory, and the Run operation starts the Error Detector testing for errors. Note that the Learn operation only
applies to some Bit error tests. Remember, Frame, Symbol, and Character error tests do not require a Learn operation.
