The ANT-20SE retains phase synchronicity even when pointer jitter
occurs (phase tolerance to O.172).
Phase hits
The instrument detects when the programmable threshold for positive
and negative jitter values is exceeded.
The result indicates how often this threshold was exceeded.

Jitter versus time
This function is used to record variations of jitter with time.
It allows the positive and negative peak values or peak-to-peak values
to be displayed versus time.
Measured values have one second resolution. Measurement duration is
up to 99 days.
By simultaneously evaluating alarms and errors, corellations between
events can be quickly identified.
Clock jitter measurement
The ANT-20SE can also measure the jitter on the clock signals
(square-wave) at standard bit rates. All built-in bit rates with electrical
interfaces up to 155 Mbit/s can be measured.
RMS measurement
T1.105.03, GR-253, GR-499, G.958 (or G.783 rev.)
The RMS value is measured on-line and displayed in UI.
The peak jitter and RMS values can be displayed simultaneously; a
graph versus time is available for long-term analysis. An RMS filter
preset is available.
