Setting Up the Proper Configurations
This section discusses setting up the configuration attributes and
parameters of the pattern generator.
If you are reloading existing configurations or downloading ASCII
vector files, refer to the Load operation in the disk drive menus of the
System.
To set up the configuration
From the Format menu, set the Vector Output Mode to either full or
1
half channel.
Make this selection first because clock frequencies and available channels are
affected.
In half channel mode, only pods 1, 3, and 5 are used. Only four channels are
available in pod 5.
Set the Clock Source to either internal or external.
2
An external clock is used when you need a clock frequency that is not
available internally, or if you need to drive the pattern generator timing with
an external reference.
