Using the Clock Input

In this example, we have chosen to view two clock periods at 10 GHz,
which makes eight eyes at 40 Gb/s. You can also view patterns in external
clock mode, just switch to Pattern. Again, make sure that the pattern
length, the signal frequency, and also the sub-rate clock are correct. By
clicking the right button and select Signal/clock delay, you can introduce a
delay between the data and the clock, which is useful for centering eye
diagrams on the screen and perform measurements on a specific eye
diagram, since all measurements are performed on the first eye diagram as
shown in Eye Mode Measurement Example on page 73.

To display the clock trace on-screen:
1.
From the main window, select the Setup menu, then View.

2. Select Clock trace.

To introduce a time delay between the data and the external

clock:
Right-click when in the main window, then select Signal/Clock delay.
