the signal.
A status o f No Signal status indicates that

Sync may ari

alignment character.
14. Press the Learn button, if visible. Learn
only appl
ies to some Bit Error Tests.
Frame, Symbol, and Character tests
do not require the learn operation.
Learn dis
covers the repeating pattern
in the signal and stores it into system
memory for comparison to the signal to
determi
ne errors in the signal. Once a
signal is in memory, it remains there until
a subsequent Learn operation, so you
don’t ha

If desired, you may press Stop or Reset at

NOTE. The Serial Error Detector
automatically resyncs and resets all counts
to zero if you press Reset or disconnect and
then reconnect the signal.
