Making Eye Diagram Measurements
The instrument has the ability to automatically characterize an NRZ eye
pattern or digital data on a digital bus. Measurements are based upon a
statistical analysis of the waveform, and require a statistical database.This
database is established automatically when the instrument is in color graded
display mode (see the 4

more information). Color grade mode must be activated whenever an eye
measurement is made.
