B-4 GB1400 User Manual
The Tektronix PB200 provides capabilities to invert data on both transmit and
receive. This provides full flexibility to adjust the PRBS signal to the user's
exact requirements. Table B-1 identifies the PB200 polynomial and shift register
feedback taps used to generate PRBS data.
