The M8046A is an instrument module that can be installed into the
M9505A 5- slot AXIe chassis. This module occupies two slots and requires
the M8045A module for proper operation.
The three or four channel configuration requires a cable (provided with
NOTE
the M8046A) that connects the M8045A SYNC OUT to the M8046A SYNC
IN to synchronize the two modules to a common system clock.
The M8046A supports symbol rates up to 32 GBaud, the default is NRZ
format.
The analyzer module can be used for error analysis in conjunction with the
M8045A pattern generator, the M8195A/M8196A Arbitrary Waveform
generators or as stand-alone.
