This softkey menu accesses the various parameters that govern the data received by the device
under test. The status area of the display shows the number of data lines used for both I and Q
along with the clock position relative to the data. When the port configuration is parallel or
parallel interleaved, the number of data lines indicated is equivalent to the word (sample) size.
When the port configuration is serial, the display will show that only one I and one Q data line
is being used along with the frame marker that delineates the beginning of a sample.
