The following pages describe known issues and behaviors of the waveform
monitors.
Topics are listed in alphabetical order.
3 Gbps Pathogenic Signal
The Level B 3 Gbps pathogenic signal is a combination of two pathological
signals, but is not, itself, pathological. If you need a pathological signal, use
Level A.
Anc Data Inspector
When using a 3 G, Level B signal, the link information in the Anc Data
Inspector display is not reported correctly.
You might see data that you do not need to see if you are viewing data types in

Unknown ancillary data types are sometimes reported when inputs are

and selecting Reset All Sessions from the Anc Data Display menu.
