Technical data

The second block generates a PRBS of polynomial 2^23 -1 as payload data. It is
repeated until the Auxiliary In port of the pattern generator receives a rising edge.
The third block generates the contents of a user pattern file named MyFooter.ptrn .
It is used to reset the device and repeated 20 times.
The pattern editor can be used to specify and store the user patterns.
