that the error rate was
This may not sit comfortably on first reading, but you are probably happy with the concept that a PRBS multiplexed in with the main data
channel at say 5% of the main data rate will provide the same BER reading as for the main data channel itself. You would probably agree
that the result would be no different if the PRBS content was dropped to say 4% of the main data channel, implying that reducing the bits
available to measure the BER by 20% will have no effect on the validity of the BER reading. The argument for the Internal BERT is no
different, >99.9% of the bits available for BER measurement are used, with the other <0.1% lost as the processor reads the hardware
registers.

ACTION MENU
The options on this menu are fairly self explanatory, however for completeness:
BUFFER
CENTRE
Forces the Rx buffer to re-centre, and will cause a burst of errors. This is
automatically performed when the Rx traffic goes from fail to OK if the option
under
CHANGE, USER-OPT, OPERATION, ACTIONS, BUFFER AUTO CENTRE
is
enabled.
SLIP COUNT
RESET
This resets the counts of underflows and overflows on the
Status
status screens
1:1 GIVE AWAY
