User Patterns and Disk Operation

Define, Edit and Store User Defined Patterns

Introduction

The Agilent 71612 Series error performance analyzers and pattern generators offer the

user the ability to define and store their own patterns (user patterns) in up to twelve pattern

stores. The contents of the pattern stores can be recalled and edited as necessary. The

following paragraphs give a description of pattern editor operation, including a list of

editor features, and procedures for editing patterns. Refer to Chapter 7 for a description of

editor softkeys.

BasicEditorOperation

There are three main functional blocks which together provide the capability to edit, store,

and output a programmable user pattern. These are the editor, pattern stores, and the user

pattern memory from which the instrument outputs a user pattern. The relationship

between these three functional blocks is shown in Figure 8-1.
