How to Set Up and Edit Your Own User Pattern

Introduction

The Agilent 71612 Series error performance analyzer and pattern generator offer the user

the ability to define twelve user patterns. Any one of these patterns may be recalled and

edited, for example:

• During a measurement when a pattern other than a user pattern is being output.

• During a measurement when the pattern to be edited is the active pattern (the pattern

currently being output).

NOTE If you select a user pattern ensure that the sync threshold is compatible

with the pattern being generated. Failure to set the correct sync

threshold may result in incorrect synchronization.

Incorrect synchronization results in errors and may cause clock-to-data

alignment failure.

pattern 1 are now loaded into the user pattern memory, and you are now able to edit

then save the contents of pattern 1 either back to or any other

pattern store. Use the softkey to allocate a full screen to the

Pattern editor.
