Check the Output of the N4916B (De-Emphasis Part) Using the Error
Detector
If you have connected the N4916B to a Serial BERT and have no oscilloscope at
hand, you can use the error detector for checking the output of the N4916B.
1
Connect the ED Data-In to the Data Out of N4916B
2
Connect the ED Clock In to the PG Clock Out
3
Terminate PG Data Out with 50Ohm

Terminate PG Clock Out with 50Ohm
5
Ensure that the error detector follows the generated pattern.
