This Serial Data Analyzer allows the user of an 3GHz bandwidth for data rates up to 1.5 Gbits/sec) to trigger on bit streams with data rates up to 2.7Gbits/sec.

The new trigger is the fastest serial data pattern trigger in the oscilloscope industry.

Designers of PCI Express and other high speed serial data protocols will find a high degree of utility in the serial data trigger.

Previous scopes, even those with front end analog bandwidth up to 7GHz, could on trigger on bit patterns up to 1.25Gbits not helpful to engineers designing PCI Express (2.5Gbits) and other high speed standards.

Outputs on the front panel allow this user to access the recovered clock and data signals which can be used with other instruments such as bit error rate test sets.

Trigger patterns can be entered in either binary or hex and stored patterns can be recalled from files.
