BERT
Four BERT inputs
The BERT connectors either receive clock and data
signals for measuring a bit error rate
or,
they receive control signals for segment hopping
(FHOP) while generating multi segment waveforms.
The sequence for segment hopping can be fed in
parallel or serial.
Note:
The FHOP mode disables the BERT functionality and
vice versa. The FHOP mode requires the hardware
revisions:
Baseboard
3
Rev. 5.00
and
SFB > Rev.
01.05.05
.
See data sheet and
chapter 4, section
"
CLOCK
Clock input from a DUT.
Clock input in mode FHOP serial.
Bit 3 (MSB) input in mode FHOP parallel.
DATA
Demodulated data from DUT.
Data input in mode FHOP serial.
Bit 2 input in mode FHOP parallel.
RESTART
This signal repeats BER measurements with short
signals.
The signal is not used in mode FHOP serial.
Bit 1 input in mode FHOP parallel.
DATA ENABL
This signal labels the payload of the data, hence
header or guard signals do not contribute to the
BER.
Strobe input in mode FHOP serial to mark the end
of a data sequence( LSB).
Bit 0 (LSB) input in mode FHOP parallel.
