You can use instruments (N4903B, 81150A) connected via Ethernet,
USB or GPIB. The instruments must already be configured in the
Agilent IO Expert in order to be able to remote-control it using the
PCI Express Link Training Suite. Please refer to the Agilent IO
Libraries Suite Quick Start Guide when connecting the J-BERT to
your PC the first time. As soon as this is done, you can find out the
VISA address by selecting the J-BERT in the list of instruments in the
Agilent IO Expert. Note that socket connections are not supported.
In order to be able to use an N4916B de-emphasis signal converter, it
must be connected to the rear USB port of the J-BERT. Please refer to
the N4916B Getting Started Guide when connecting an N4916B the
first time. The same applies for the N4880A reference clock
multiplier.
