Figure B- 3: Pulse crossings and mid-reference level
The following measurement parameters are normally used when measuring
Optical Modulation Amplitude on a pulse. Crossings at the measured Average
Optical Power level determine the positions of the eye apertures for the logical 1
and logical 0 of the pulse (size set in the measurement Region control). The
High, Power Logic 1, and Low, Power Logic 0 levels are determined as the mean
values of the logical levels sampled within the eye aperture of the logical 1 and 0
regions of the pulse.
