13 Click on Data In corresponding to the M8046A (M2) and select the line
coding PAM-4.
14 Enable the output of the pattern generator by clicking on the Output

In the CLK/2 mode, for symbol rates above 25 GBaud, an external
bandpass filter has to be used on the clock input of M8046A. The filter
has to be removed for symbol rates below 25 GBaud. However, in the
CLK/1 mode, no external bandpass filter is required.
When the line coding “PAM-4” is selected for the loopback mode, it is
recommended to adjust the pattern generator data output de-emphasis
for the post cursor for error free operation (e.g. +0.05 at 25 Gbaud).
