Understanding BER measurement with the real-time oscilloscope
Despite the fact, that Infiniium is capable of measuring BER and SER under
certain restrictions, these measurements will not be used when operating
the oscilloscope in M8070A.
Instead, the oscilloscope is used as a digitizer and all the pattern
comparison and error counting related steps are done by M8070A.
This allows to report a true error count, because M8070A compares
against expected pattern and it produces the same detailed error count
results as a regular error detector does.
