location on the display. Figure 3–19 shows the 10-EYE mode. Approximately
10 eyes are displayed per horizontal sweep, and the horizontal scale is 3 ns/div.
In the 10-Eye more, you can observe events that are correlated with the serial
word rate or horizontal line rate. In this mode, you can also observe systematic
errors that affect certain bits in the data word.
