Pattern
 Coupled RX to TX check box, when selected (default), couples both
the TX and RX signal with the same test pattern. The Coupled RX to
TX check box is selected and not configurable for Seed A, Seed B, and
PRBS31 Unscrambled patterns.
 No Pattern Analysis (Live) check box when cleared (default),
monitors the incoming traffic pattern and Round-Trip Latency. For live
traffic, the No Pattern Analysis (Live) check box should be selected as
the traffic is a live pattern and in this case no monitoring is required.
See BER on page 208 for more information.
 TX Pattern/RX Pattern: Select the test pattern from the list for each
direction (TX and RX) if required. Choices are PRBS9, PRBS11,
PRBS15, PRBS20, PRBS23, PRBS31 (default), Seed A
