Test & Measurement: Powerful Bit-Error-Rate Tester Works At 1500 Mbits/s

The BA1500 1500-Mbit/s BitAlyzer bit-error-rate (BER) tester provides detailed BER tests and points out where and when errors occur. It shows errors, block errors, and error-free interval statistics for differential and single-ended inputs. The unit can find correlations between errors and block sizes. Histograms of error rate versus bit position within the test patterns can be displayed. Optional software provides fast eye diagram displays, eye-mask testing, jitter measurements, and Q factor displays. Forward error correction can be optionally emulated on live or captured (stored) data. Pricing starts at $44,300.
