Page 43 Technical Terms 1.5 Technical Terms This section explains the technical terms used in this manual. 0 Level (Zero Level) At Eye pattern measurement, the maximum level at the center 20% of the bit interval is the average value of the low histogram. 1 Level (One Level) At Eye pattern measurement, the maximum level at the center 20% of the bit interval is the average value of the high histogram.
Page 44 Chapter 1 Outline PRBS (Pseudo-Random Bit Sequence) PRBS is the abbreviation for pseudorandom bit sequence. It is a bit string approximating actual communications data with a random distribution of “1” and “0”. In a bit length of 2 -1, n is called the number of the PRBS. Using the BERTWave, n can be set to 7, 9, 15, 23, and 31.

Page 306 Chapter 10 Maintenance 10.1 Daily Maintenance Before daily maintenance of the BERTWave, be sure to turn the power off and unplug it from the AC outlet. Panel surface dirt When surface dirt is noticeable, after the BERTWave has been used in a dusty environment, or when the BERTWave has not been used for an extended period of time, wipe its surface with a cloth moistened in detergent and wrung enough.
Page 307 10.2 Replacement of Optical Connector 10.2 Replacement of Optical Connector The standard optical connector is the FC type. The optical connector of the plug-in unit and pull-out type optical sensor can be removed and replaced with another connector (sold separately), and its interior can be cleaned.
Page 308 Chapter 10 Maintenance To remove the optical connector: Open the cover. Pull up the connector lever toward you. Check that the latch has been released, and then, gently pull the connector out straight toward you. Latch Figure 10.2-2 How to Remove the Optical Connector 10-4...
Page 309 10.3 Optical Connector/Optical Adapter Cleaning 10.3 Optical Connector/Optical Adapter Cleaning Cleaning the Ferrule End Surface Use an approved adapter cleaner to clean the ferrule end surface in the optical connector. The ferrule in the optical connectors needs periodic cleaning. Although the following procedures use the FC connector and adapter as an example, use the same methods when cleaning other connector and adapter types.
Page 310 Chapter 10 Maintenance Press the tip of a new (dry) adapter cleaner into the ferrule end surface and then wipe in one direction 2 or 3 times to dry the surface. Clean the adapter interior with adapter cleaner. (Refer to “Cleaning the optical adapter” below.) Attach the adapter in the reverse order.

Page 317 The recommended calibration cycle after delivery of the BERTWave is twelve months. If you require support after delivery, contact an Anritsu Service and Sales office. Contact information can be found on the last page of the printed version of this manual, and is available in a separate file on the PDF version.
Page 318 Chapter 10 Maintenance 10.8 Storage Wipe off dust, fingerprint marks, stains, spots, etc. from the surface of the BERTWave before storing it. Fit the attached coaxial connector cover to the coaxial connector on the front panel. Also, put the cap on the optical connector. Put the power cord, CD-ROM and other accessories in the accessory box and store it with the main frame.
Page 319 10.9 Transporting and Disposal 10.9 Transporting and Disposal The following describes precautions for transporting and disposing of the BERTWave. Repackaging Repack the BERTWave in the packing material (box) in which it was delivered. If the packing material has been thrown away or damaged, repack the BERTWave in the following manner: Prepare a corrugated cardboard, wooden, or aluminum box large enough to pack cushioning material in around the BERTWave.
