Library of pre-defined patterns
Many popular compliance patterns are predefined, such as:
CJTPAT, CJPAT, DisplayPort, FDDI, Fibre Channel, K28.5, PCI
Express, SAS, SATA, SDH, SONET, USB3
Patterns
PRBS: 2
n
-1 with n = 7, 10, 11, 15, 23, 31, and 2
n
with
n = 7, 10, 13, 15, 23, 31.
User definable pattern: 32 Mbit, independent for pattern genera-
tor and error detector.
Generator pattern sequencing
The generators pattern sequences can be started on command or
by a signal applied to the auxiliary input.
Sum of blocks and counted loops: Up to 120; the block resolution
of user definable pattern is 512 bits.
Loops: Over 120 or fewer blocks, 1 loop level, loop counter and
infinite.
Second output channel (Option 002): In MUX-mode the multi-
plexed PG pattern can be entered directly. In independent channel
mode individual 32 MB patterns and individual PRBS can be set
up for the data output and aux data output. The pattern sequence
(block length, loops, conditions) applies for main output and the
aux output.
The error detector pattern can track patterns from the data out or
from the aux data output. Requires software revision 7.0 or later.

sequences.
Alternate pattern
This allows switching between two patterns of equal length that
have been programmed by the user, each of which can be up
to 16 Mbit. Switching is possible using a front panel key, over
GPIB or by applying the appropriate signal to the auxiliary input
port. Changeover occurs at the end of the pattern. The length
of the alternating patterns should be a multiple of 512 bits. Two
methods of controlling pattern changeover are available: one-shot
and alternate.
Zero substitution
Zeros can be substituted for data to extend the longest run
of zeros in the patterns listed below. The longest run can be
extended to the pattern length-1. The bit following the substituted
zeros is set to 1.
Variable mark density
The ratio of ones to total bits in the predefined pattern library can
be set to ⅛, ¼, ½, ¾, or ⅞.
