Working with Measurements 8
Crosstalk
Crosstalk between adjacent signal paths modulates the vertical eye
amplitude. This narrows the voltage range of the receiver needed for
capturing data correctly.
For jitter tolerance tests, amplitude modulation is most often simulated by
modulating the data output with a sinewave signal. This is called
Sinusoidal Interference (SI).
Total Jitter
Total jitter is the sum of all kinds of jitter.

Name Description
Data Rate Displays the Data Rate for the measurement.
Target BER Sets the required target BER. The default is 1.0E-09.
Confidence Level Confidence Level = 1 – exp(-data rate * gate time * measurement
depth)
The range is 0 % to 99.9 %. The default is 95 %.
Frequency Relax Time Sets the amount of time to pause the measurement after a change
in jitter modulation frequency.
Amplitude Relax Time Sets the amount of time to pause the measurement after a change
in jitter modulation amplitude.
Name Description
