• Parameters Window - Once, the channel section is made, you can
configure the basic parameters of each functional block. However, you
can also view and configure the detailed parameters on clicking the

• Clock and Pattern Generator pane
The “Clock and Pattern Generator” pane display the functional blocks
which are related to clock generation and pattern generator. It may
include Clock Generator, Clock Output, Trigger Output, Impairments,
Pattern Data and Data Out 1 for a given channel. However, these
functional blocks may vary, depending upon the type of module. In
case of M8046A, the Data Out functional will show an additional
Coding parameter. Similarly for other modules such as M8062A or
AWG modules (M8195A/M8196A), the functional blocks may vary
depending upon the channel selection.
• Analyzer-Detector pane
The “Analyzer-Detector” pane display the functional blocks like DATA In
which are related to error detection. It may include, Threshold,
Equalization, CDR, depending upon the connected modules. For
example, the CDR option will not be available for M8046A analyzer.
This pane also provides access to various measurements which are
supported by the selected analyzer channel. For example, the eye
diagram and output level measurements will not be available for
M8046A analyzer.
