Once an eye diagram measurement is begun and there is an eve diagram displayed, different on- screen measurement tools may be used singly, or in combination. Each measurement involves indicating with cursors and line segments regions of the eye diagram that are of interest, and a parameter or parameters associated with each measurement tool in use is reported in a (usually) separate area of the display. An Eye Limits measurement allows the specification of a point within an eye diagram, whereupon it finds and reports the eye diagram coordinates first encountered along horizontal and vertical lines extended from the selected point (i.e., "eye opening" size). The coordinates of the point itself are also reported. A Four Point Box measurement allows the construction on the eye diagram of a rectangle having sides parallel to the coordinate axes of the eye diagram. The coordinates of the rectangle are reported, as well as information about the number of points on the eye diagram that occur on or within the rectangle. A Six Point Box and a Diamond may be defined and used in a like fashion. A Slope Tool uses two end points to define an intervening line segment, whose slope and location can be adjusted to match some region of interest on the eye diagram. The pertinent information about the line segment and its end points is then reported. A Histogram measurement may be performed on any selected slice of the eye diagram. The histogram is thus of a distribution of number of hits versus either time axis location at a fixed voltage, or voltage at a fixed time location. Duplicate cursors appear on both the line defining the slice and within the histogram. Either cursor can be grabbed and moved, which then also moves the other. The scale for the number of hits for either histogram may be either linear or logarithmic.
