Explicit Clock

The Explicit Clock clock recovery mode lets you provide a clock from the circuit that you are measuring. This lets you make a jitter measurement with respect to the provided clock.

When the Explicit Clock clock recovery mode is selected, the dialog box has these controls:

  • Symbol Rate — not used with this clock recovery method.

    The Select From List drop-down menu lets you select typical rates for standard communication interface technologies. The Auto Set Symbol Rate button runs a data rate measurement and populates the Symbol Rate field with the data rate measured on the input signal.
