Figure 2-7. Generator Display in Its Normal (Non-menu) Mode

The function of each field in the normal Generator display format—that is the format used when the Generator is not in the menu mode - is described below:

∙The top left section of the Generator display is used to show the current frequency of the internal clock in MHz. For example a display of

6 2 2 . 0 5 0 indicates a frequency of 622.050 MHz.

∙The top middle section normally shows the current test pattern. For example

PN23 INV indicates that the current pattern is an inverted 223-1 PRBS.

∙The top right section of the display shows the amplitude of the CLOCK or DATA output, depending on which output control (CLOCK or DATA) is selected.

∙The bottom left section of the Generator display may show either the presently selected word memory (WORD 0 ... WORD 7) or the selected frequency memory (FREQ 0 ... FREQ 9).

∙The bottom middle section of the display shows the currently selected Generator error inject mode.

∙The bottom right section of the Generator display will normally show the baseline offset of the CLOCK or DATA output, depending on which output control (CLOCK or DATA) is selected.
