Basic Setup for M8050A
Step 15 - Performing a Functional Test
This section describes how to perform a basic functional test using a
M8042A pattern generator module with any supported real-time scope or
M8046A module as an error detector. The M8046A error detector requires
options A64 (Data Rate up to 64 Gbaud) and 0A5 (Clock Recovery).
Follow the steps given below:
1 Connect Remote Heads (M8058A or M8059A) to Data Input of Scope
or M8046A. For M8058A Remote head, use 150 mm, 1.85 mm cable
and for M8059A, use the 150 mm, 1.00 mm cable. For M8046A, use
the recommended cable pair M8046A-802 (2.4 mm matched cable
pair).
2 Take care to use appropriate adapters for connecting remote heads to
UXR or to M8046A matched cable pair. You might also require an
adapter 1.0 mm to 2.4 mm, depending on the analyzer connectors.
3 Start the M8070B system software.
