Tektronix 071-0590-00 Connect the Generator to the Analyzer, Setup Generator for PRBS-23 Mode

Tutorial

2.Connect the Generator to the Analyzer.

Connect the generator and analyzer as shown below. The generator CLOCK output connects to the analyzer CLOCK input. The generator DATA output connects to the analyzer DATA input. The rear panel THRESHOLD output on the Rx connects to the Receiver NOT-DATAinput on the front panel. Terminate the generator NOT_CLOCK and NOT_DATA signals with the 50Ω terminators located on the front panel of the generator.

Note: Do not mix up the clock, not_clock, data, and not_data signals or tutorial results will be different.

3.Setup Generator for PRBS-23 Mode.

Locate the controls in the OUTPUT box of the Generator. Setup the Generator clock and data outputs as follows:

Set this parameter	…to this value	…using this procedure.
DATA amplitude.	1 volts	Press the DATA key. The LED within the switch
		should be lit.
		Press AMPLITUDE up/down keys until data
		amplitude is set to 2.00V.
DATA baseline offset	-0.5 volt	Press BASELINE OFFSET up/down keys until
		data baseline offset is set to -0.50V.
CLOCK amplitude	1 volts	Press CLOCK. (the LED within switch should be
		lit).
		Press AMPLITUDE up/down keys until clock
		amplitude is set to 2.00V.
CLOCK baseline	-0.5 volt	Press BASELINE OFFSET up/down keys until
offset		clock baseline OFFSET is set to -0.50V.
