In synchronous (state) analysis mode, and in the eye scan mode, there is one NOTE clock input which must be routed to the clock input on pod 1. The clock inputs on other pods can be assigned to labels and acquired as data inputs. Keysight U4205A Direct Connect 34-Channel Mictor Probe...
When you use the U4205A, you adjust the logic threshold in the user interface. The clock input on the U4205A is single- ended. The clock threshold may be adjusted independent of the data.
