SIGNAL GENERATOR SETUP FIELDS, continued |
|
| |||
Pattern Type, | Toggle | 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. |

| 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. |

| |
