Remote Commands

byte_sync [n] (Analyzer only)

Byte Synchronization. This command sets the long-word pattern synchronization threshold. This threshold does not apply to short-word patterns, or PRBS patterns. The long-word synchronization threshold is set in terms of an integer, n, which corresponds to a BER threshold. In the table below, the ratios of errors to bits corrrespond to the window examined and the maximum errors for the threshold.

Level	BER		Ratio (errors/bits)
1	3.1E-2		(256/8192)
2	7.8E-3		(256/32768)
3	1.9E-3		(256/131072)
4	9.7E-4		(256/262144)
5	4.8E-4		(256/524288)
6	2.4E-4		(256/1048576)
7	1.2E-4		(256/2097152)
8	6.1E-5		(256/4194304)
9	3.0E-5		(256/8388608)
