    Setting Up a Simple BER Measurement Setting Up a Simple BER Measurement NOTES: The screen is touch-sensitive. Selections may be made by touching on screen icons, or by using a keyboard and mouse (if connected). Navigation between screens is easy – a shortcut to the Pattern Generator Screen and Error Detector Screen is available at any time at the bottom of the screen.
  • Page 23: Troubleshooting Information

    Setting Up a Simple BER Measurement Troubleshooting Information If the instrument does not behave as described here, some common areas to look for are: Does the Error Detector say “Unstable Clock”? Check that the Pattern Generator has its clock outputs switched on (press ‘Outputs On/Off’). Check that there is a good coax connection between the Generator Clock output (either + or –) and the Error Detector Clock Input.
