Per default, the Deskew Editor identifies the available generator channels
and suggests a cable delay measurement.
How to Adjust the Instrument Connectors
Zero adjustment ensures that an edge produced by the generator channels
appears simultaneously at all generator connectors, and that received data
is sampled at all analyzer connectors at the same point of time.
N O T E
To perform this procedure, you need a reference SMA cable with known
signal delay.
Once the Deskew Editor has been started:
1 Decide whether you wish to measure generator or analyzer channels.
2 Click the Zero button in the Adjust field to select zero adjust.
The last measured delay values are displayed.
Per default all connectors are marked for the zero adjust. With the None
button you can deselect all and then mark just the new connectors for
the zero adjust procedure.
