Result of
triggering the
low
speed
gating
pulse
generator
from
the
10
Gb/s
pattern
generator
.
Note
that
the
number of
false
triggers
is
reduced
but
not
completely
eliminated.
This
is
because the
inherent
jitter
of
low
speed
pulse
generators
makes
it
dicult
to ensure
that
the
gate
enable
edge
is
stable
within
a
10
Gb/s
clock
cycle
.It
may
be
possible
,
in
some
experimental
setups
,
to
generate
coherent
and
stable
gate enable
signals
more
directly
from
the
trigger
signal
and
achieve
better
results.
While
the
12
GHz/Gate
mode
allows
triggering
on
complex
and
high
speed
signals
,
care
must
be
taken
during
experimental
setups
and when
interpreting
the
results
.
