Introduction
ProBER 2 - an overview
2 Mb/s BER and signal quality measurements in a hand-held tester
The ProBER 2 test set provides a powerful hand-held solution for testing 2 Mb/s
and 64 kb/s digital circuits. It offers extensive BER test functions plus a unique
range of signal quality measurements (pulse mask, jitter, level and frequency). This
unmatched (in a hand-held) test capability, combined with the intuitive operation of
ProBER 2, simplifies installation and maintenance testing for faster problem
resolution.
A range of signal quality measurements for faster problem resolution
Save time by quickly identifying signal quality problems before running long-term
error measurements or during trouble-shooting. With a single keystroke, ProBER 2
rapidly identifies any frequency, level, pulse shape or jitter problem on a 2 Mb/s
signal.
Measurement summary
ProBER 2 supports comprehensive functional and parametric capability providing
the ability to fully evaluate 2 Mb/s, n x 64 kb/s and 64 kb/s co-directional circuits.
