Bit Error Rate Tester PRBS OR USER-DEFINED TEST PATTERNS II The GB1400 can generate pseudc-random IA~ Features bit sequences (PRBS) up to 223-f bits and others optional in length, user-programmable glgaBERT CB1400 patterns. Patterns can be created locally Operating frequency Range 1400 MHz using setup menus or externally by using Internal PLL Synthesized Clock Source a v~orkstation or PC. A PC Windows-Sased PRBS 2"-I n: 7, 15, 17, 20, 23 Pattern Editor software package comes with 1M Memory Option. Externally created the 1 Mbit Programmable Pattern Memory patterns can be downloaded via the GPIB (Optional) or RS-232 port. All user patterns are saved Auto-synchronization in battery-backed RAM.

Generator and Error Detector AUTOSEARCHFOREASYSETUP The GB1400 operates at bit rates up to Auto search greatly simplifies the Error 1400 Mbls. This instrument is cost-effective Detector setup. The GB1400 Error Detector EI Applicatiuns for lower-speed applications today and will automatically synchrocizes to the incoming Gigabit LAN Testing accommodate your future high-speed signal by 1) Setting the input data decision requirements as well.

Thus the GB1400 can perform bit error analysis on any data pzttern with a known good refer- ence pattern. POWERFUL ANALYSIS AND REPORTING FUNCTlONS Not only will the GB1400 Error Detector synchronize with any pattern sourced by a gigaBERT Pattern Generator, it can perform a bit-by-bit comparison and bit error analysis on an arbitrary signal if provided with a known good external Reference data stream.
