Select the Results tab to see the results of running the error detector.
NOTE. The Serial Error Detector automatically resyncs and resets all counts to zero if you press Reset or
disconnect and then reconnect the signal.
If you are using one of the supplied AWG signal patterns, you can press the Force Event button on the
AWG to induce an error in the signal to verify the operation of the Error Detector. These AWG setup
files are located in Win7 in the directory C:\User\Public\Tektronix\Tekscope\ErrorDetector\AWG
Alternatively, you can verify operation by disconnecting and reconnecting the signal. There will be
massive errors when the signal is disconnected, but after the signal is reconnected the Error D
etector
will resynchronize to the signal, clear the e rror counts and rates, and resume testing.
Press the Error Detector Off button to end the error detector session. A popup will appear saying the
trigger has changed to Edge.
