Preface

Features

The Tektroni and multi-channel conﬁgurations capable of data rates up to 32 Gb/s. With optional jitter insertion, the PPG line offers a ﬂ exible, cost effective and easy to use test solution supporting high speed applications such as 100 Gigabit Ethernet, 32G Fibre channel, PAM4, DP-QPSK testing, and a broad range of receiver test applications. The single unit multi-channel conﬁgurations provide aligned, pattern-i multi-channel functionality. The PPG line can be paired with the Tektronix PED line of Error Detector products to provide a complete BER test capability.

The data rate can be programmed over a broad range of values. The output may be either built-in PRBS patterns or programmed user data patterns.

The PPG pattern generators series provide the following features:

1.5 Gb/s to 16 Gb/s operation (PPG1600 series)

1.5 Gb/s to 30 Gb/s operation (PPG3000 series)

CAUTION. Operating the instrument on an incorrect line voltage can cause

damage, possibly voiding the warranty. To avoid this, operate the instrument with the correct line voltage.

The instrument operates from a single-phase line voltage listed in the following table. Line voltage and line frequency are automatically sensed; there are no switches to set. Check to ensure the operating voltage in your area is compatible.

is c providing protection against electric shock.

The unit has four fans in the rear, as well as cooling vents on the bottom and

ide panels to keep it from overheating.

CAUTION. Inadequate ventilation can damage the instrument; to avoid damaging

the instrument, observe the following precautions:

Do not block the cooling vents.

Do not position any devices adjacent to the instrument that force air (heated or unheated) into or onto the instrument surfaces or cooling vents. This additional airﬂow could compromise performance.

considerations

When rack mount
