Functionality
Features
The user friendly configuration screen.
• Single instrument 3-slot wide PXI card containing pattern generation with
error detection
• Easily combined with DCA, Synthesizer, Pattern Generator or multiple
BERT modules in a PXI chassis
• Bit Error Rate in three modes - History (GUI only), Continuous, and Time Window
• Automatic clock data align
• Eye opening measured and/or extrapolated to a defined error rate
• Jitter Bathtub display and analysis
• Error injection: single error or error rate injection
• Significantly smaller than a conventional BERT
• Differential data generation and analysis
• User selectable data patterns:
▫ PRBS 2ⁿ -1, n=7, 9, 11,15, 23, 31
▫ K28.5, K28.7 and CR Pat
• User defined patterns
▫ 2048 bits maximum length
▫ 16 Kbytes if pattern length is integer multiple of 64
• Pattern generation and BER measurements using the internal clock source
for the following rates:
▫ 155 Mb/s
(OC-3/STM-1)
▫ 622 Mb/s
(OC-12/STM-4)
▫ 1.0625 Gb/s
(1xFibre Channel)
▫ 1.25 Gb/s
(Gigabit Ethernet)
▫ 2.125 Gb/s
(2xFibre Channel)
▫ 2.488 Gb/s
(OC-48/STM-16)
▫ 2.500 Gb/s
(Parallel Optics, PCI-Express)
▫ 3.125 Gb/s
(Xaui)
▫ 4.25 Gb/s
(4xFibre Channel)
▫ 5.0 Gb/s
(Parallel Optics, PCI-Express II)
▫ 6.25 Gb/s
(Double XAUI)
▫ 8.5 Gb/s
(8xFibre Channel)
• Pattern generation and BER measurements using an external clock at any
rates from 622 Mb/s up to 10.3125 Gb/s. Therefore the N2101B can generate
patterns and perform BER measurements on these standard rates.
▫ 9.95 Gb/s
(OC196/STM64)
▫ 10.3125 Gb/s
(10 Gigabit Ethernet)
