:MEASure:EYE:PAM:EHEight
Command Syntax
:MEASure:EYE:PAM:EHEight
Query Syntax
:MEASure:EYE:PAM:EHEight?
Description
Returns the PAM Eye Height measurement for the selected eye. Eye Height measures the vertical opening for the selected eye of a PAM signal. Select the eye measurement to be returned using the :MEASure:EYE:PAM:EHEight:EYE child command. To measure the eye height for all of the eyes on a PAM signal, you must send this command once for each eye as there is no command for simultaneously measuring all eyes.
For each eye, the eye height is derived from eye boundaries that are located based on zero data "hits" or at an eye opening probability (:MEASure:EYE:PAM:EHEight:DEFine:EOPening child command). The probability defines the ratio of total hits in a waveform database column that can occur in the eye's opening. The probability can be set from 1 x 10–1 to 1 x 10–9 using the :MEASure:EYE:PAM:EHEight:DEFine:EOPening:PROBability child command. The default probability is 1 x 10–2. No extrapolation is used to determine Eye Widths at a specified probability.
Specify the measurement units with the :MEASure:PAM:AMPLitude:UNITs command.
