Monitor Outputs

The MONITOR CLOCK and DATA outputs are provided so that you can monitor the test signal as seen by the Analyzer. This allows you to attach an error logging device, for example, to record the exact times that errors occur. Or, you may attach another type of instrument to make specialized calculations.

MONITOR DATA is an NRZ output signal with the same bit sequence as that recovered by the Analyzer front end circuit. MONITOR CLOCK is the corresponding clock signal. Because the MONITOR output is a regenerated version of the received test signal, bit errors reported by the Analyzer—due to noise on the received data (or clock) signals—will be present in the MONITOR DATA output bit sequence.

Output Setup

All three MONITOR ports (CLOCK, DATA, and Pattern Sync) are 50 Ohm, single-ended outputs.
