1 in 8

Containing strings of 7 sequential 0’s. It is used to determine

 

continued

 

 

the ability of a circuit to handle payload signals having

 

 

 

 

minimum 1’s density. Use of this pattern often reveals the

 

 

 

 

existence of timing recovery problem under conditions of

 

 

 

 

low signal density.

DALY

Daly Pattern (Modified 55 Octet). This is useful for stressing the

 

 

 

 

timing recovery circuits of line cards and the preamplifier/

 

 

 

 

equalizer circuits of repeaters. The pattern stresses a circuit by

 

 

 

 

introducing rapid transitions from long sequences of low density

 

 

 

 

octets to high density octets, high density octets to low density

 

 

 

 

octets, and rapid transitions. The pattern may be transmitted

 

 

 

 

framed or unframed. When framed, the frame bit shall be inserted

 

 

 

 

at the octet boundaries and will not overwrite the bits.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

User Code

For user-defined patterns of 32 bits or less, set the Pattern Type

 

 

 

 

field to User Code. The bits can be entered by typing a string

 

 

 

 

of 0’s or 1’s in the bit field located to the right of the

 

 

 

 

designated entry.
