4.5 System Verification
When first using the N4962A and before using the machine to test an external
DUT, first confirm that the system is generating a PRBS bit stream and can
detect bit errors.
4.5.1 Self Test Mode
Verify the PRBS generator and error detector are both functioning by
configuring the system in self-test mode as follows: connect the OUT/OUT¯¯¯
ports directly to the IN/IN¯¯ ports with the Agilent Technologies-supplied phase
balanced 50 Ω coaxial cables, use the internal clock at the default setting,
power the system, turn on the PRBS output, and adjust the error detector clock
phase, as follows:
• Connect TX CKO to TX CKI with coaxial cable (included; default)
• Connect RX CKO to RX CKI with coaxial cable (included; default)
• Connect OUT to IN with phase-balanced coax cable (included)
• Optionally connect OUT¯¯¯to IN¯¯ with phase-balanced coax cable
(included)
• Terminate all unused RF connectors with 50 Ω terminations
• Turn on the power switch from the back panel
• Press the Data Path->Select Path button and select Enabled
• Press the Display->Scroll ↓ button and select Ø
• Press the Adjust->Config State + button to auto-select the detector
phase
• Observe the Error ε light (should remain off, indicating no errors
detected)
