³ If the Pass/Fail Verdict is Bit Error Count, the accepted threshold
range is 6 digits with a default value of 0.
³ If the Pass/Fail Verdict is Bit Error Rate, the accepted threshold
range is 1.0E-14 to 1.0E0 with a default value of 1.0E-2.

errors to clear results.
³ Bit Error Count: Displays the sum of mismatch ‘0’ and mismatch ‘1’
errors.
³ Bit Error Rate: Displays the bit error rate with a range of 1.0E-14 to
1.0E0.
³ Report: Select the Report button to generate the report file of the
