40 Agilent 81133A/81134A Pulse Generator User’s Guide, August 2002
Setting Up a Data Pattern
Tas k Set up two signals:
• A PRBS signal to test a digital transmitter.
• A 32-bit pattern signal with NRZ data output format at 500 MHz to
check a digital circuit with ECL logic.
The pattern is:
11110011100110010010100100000000
NOTE This example is demonstrated with the 81134A instrument.
With the 81134A instrument, you can set up both signals
simultaneously.
Using the Graphical User Interface
