(BIT ERROR RATE
TEST...)
STATE
Indication of activities on data and clock line as well as
synchronization status.
MODE
Setting the operating mode for the BER measurement.
OFF
Terminating measurement.
AUTO
Continuous BER measurement. If one or
both termination criteria are met, a new
measurement is initiated. SMIQ cyclically
fetches the current measurement results
from AMIQ. A measurement can take con-
siderable time, depending on the settings
made. During the first measurement, the
intermediate results are displayed. For all
further measurements, only the final results
are shown (by AMIQ). The DATA BITS and
ERRORS displayed are continuously
updated and indicate the relative values
referred to the current measurement.
SINGLE
Single BER measurement. SMIQ cyclically
fetches the current measurement results
from AMIQ while the measurement is
being performed. If one of the termination
criteria is met (TERMINATION
ATTRIBUTES - DATA BITS and
TERMINATION ATTRIBUTES - ERRORS),
the measurement is terminated.
A SINGLE measurement can only be
initiated by selecting the EXECUTE SINGLE
menu.
EXECUTE SINGLE
Initiating a single BER measurement. This menu item
is only shown if MODE = SINGLE has been set.
TERMINATION
ATTRIBUTES
DATA BITS
Setting the termination criterion
„Number of data bits transmitted“
ERRORS
Setting the termination criterion
„Maximum number of errors
occurred“
PRBS
Setting the data period length 9, 11, 15, 20, 23 bits.
DATA POLARITY
Setting the polarity of the data bits.
NORM
Normal polarity
INV
Inverted polarity
CLOCK SLOPE
Setting the polarity of the clock slopes.
POS
Rising slope
NEG
Falling slope
ENABLE RESTART
Switching on or off the external restart.
DATA ENABLE
Setting the polarity of the DUT's Data Valid signal. 3
possibilities: NOT_USED, LOW and HIGH.
UNIT
Setting the unit for indicating the BIT ERROR RATE.
OFF
Indication without unit, decadic
%
Indication of relative frequency in per cent
ppm
Indication of relative frequency in thousandths
