5. Using the Software
Connecting To The Instruments
Once the software started, the main window and the connection
dialog will appear as shown in Figure 3.
In the “Connection Dialog” window:
1. Select the J-BERT configuration (one or two channels)
2. Enter the VISA address of the J-BERT
3. Select whether you want to use an N4916B de-emphasis signal
converter or not, and whether you want to use an N4880A
reference clock multiplier or not
4. If you chose a two-channel configuration: since the J-BERT has
only one error detector, select which TX lane of the DUT is
connected to the J-BERT's error detector
5. If you want to use calibration data from the Agilent N5990A
automated test solution, select the calibration data folder in the
“Calibration Files Directory” box.
6. If you have an 81150A AWG to generate common-mode
interference, check the “CM Interference AWG” check-box and
enter its VISA address in the text-box below
7. If you have a remote-controllable power switch, check the
“Power Switch” check-box and enter it's address. The default
address format is “IP;Username;Password”. You must also
select a channel number.
