Eye Pattern Observation

The waveform displayed can show both amplitude variations and timing variations.
The combination of these "closes" the decision window for determining whether a bit
received is "1" or "0." Common errors including overshoot, bandwidth limitations, and
ringing are easily observed with the Eye Pattern display and provide indications of the
general quality of the transmission channel and source.
