8 Install the ParBERT software (see ”Software Installation and
Update” on page 69).
9 Start the software (see ”Starting ParBERT for the First Time” on
page 75).
Note that you can operate a pattern generating and an error detecting
system in parallel from one PC by starting the user interface twice. This
can be specified with the ParBERT Configuration Tool (see ”Starting
more than One User Interface” on page 79).
Connections of the MUX/DEMUX
Modules
The sixteen 2.7 Gbit/s channels of a ParBERT 43G system—installed in
eight data generator/analyzer modules—generate or expect differential
signals.
A multiplexer module has therefore 16 pairs of input connectors which
are connected to the generator frontends. A demultiplexer module has 16
pairs of output connectors which are connected to the analyzers.
