DSO Configuration
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
Data Configuration
The DSO has 3 SMA inputs (two for the differential data RF Input + and RF Input
–
, and one
for the Clock input).
External Clock Operation
Clock Input in normal mode ranges between 5 and 525 MHz (710 MHz for certain models):
▪
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).

▪
Enter the percentage level of rising and falling times in the
NRZ Thresholds
field
▪
Enter the
