Introduction
The Agilent 12.5 Gb/s BERT products offer a range of product options to suit user
applications. There are two standard core products (Agilent 71612 and Agilent 70843)
each having a set of user options. The core products cannot be ordered or supplied on their
own; they must be ordered with an option. They are as follows:
• Agilent 71612: comprises an Agilent 70004A display and an Agilent 70843 product
base.
• Agilent 70843: comprises an Agilent Technologies MMS system II cabinet with
PSU and control hardware/firmware functions for a BERT, pattern generator or error
detector option. Agilent 70843 options are provided for users who may not require
an Agilent 70004A display or who wish to operate the instrument remotely via
GPIB.
The following tables list the options available for the Agilent 71612 and Agilent 70843
