Error Insertion

The error insertion is capable to enforce a given error ratio, and to add single errors into the data stream. Both are available in parallel.

Insertion Rate

:SOUR2:PATT:EADD:RATE

Syntax :SOUR2:PATT:EADD:RATE? :SOUR2:PATT:EADD:RATE NR3

Description Either sets or gets the error insertion rate. Only the listed error rates are available. If another value is specified while sending the command, the error rate will be rounded to the next available value.

	Available Insertion
	Rate
	Rate	Inserted error rate	Parameter
		Inserted error rate	Parameter
		None	0
		1e-3	1e-3
		1e-4	1e-4
		1e-5	1e-5
		1e-6	1e-6
		1e-7	1e-7
		1e-8	1e-8
		1e-9	1e-9
