This section describes an example procedure for Bathtub measurement.
This example assumes that DEMUX has been synchronized with the
input data by executing Auto Search beforehand. (Refer to E.4 Auto
Search Execution Example.)

measurement starts.
Sets measurement to Repeat mode.
Set the repeat measurement count to five times.
Sets the minimum number of Delay steps to "4
mUI".
Determines BER for a measurement point when an
error is counted during measurement at that
measurement point.
Sets the lower limit for the measured BER range to
1E–10.
Sets the BER range used for jitter calculation from
1E–5 to 1E–10.
