ParBERT 43G Components Setting Up ParBERT 43G
Agilent 81250 ParBERT Installation Guide, February 2002 59
43.2 Gbit/s Error Detector Bundle
The Agilent E4895A 43.2 Gbit/s error detector bundle demultiplexes a
43.2 Gbit/s data stream and provides the data to sixteen 2.7 Gbit/s data
analyzers. The bundle includes:
• One 13-slot VXI mainframe
• One IEEE 1394 PC link to VXI
• One E4808A high performance clock module
• Sixteen 2.7 Gbit/s analyzer frontends E4863A built into eight E4861A
2.7 Gbit/s modules
• One 43.2 Gbit/s demultiplexer module, including 32 cables to connect
to the 2.7 Gbit/s channels (SMA to MCX), and a cable pair to connect
to the DUT (1.85 mm to 1.85 mm)
• E4875A ParBERT software

Additional Hardware Requirements
These two bundles require an external PC that runs the ParBERT
software.
The external PC is not included. You may run both bundles from the
same PC.
For best jitter/phase noise performance, it is recommended that a signal
generator (like Agilent E8244A) is used as an external clock source.
