Tektronix CSA907A

The Tektronix CSA 907A Bit Error Rate Tester is a stimulus-response system that features a high-speed serial pattern generator, the CSA 907A Tx, and a companion error detector, the CSA 907A Rx.  Each unit is portable, and can be used in a lab, production testing, or field environment.  the CSA 907A Bit Error Rate Tester can be used to evaluate trahsmission quality of high-speed modules and systems for a variety of testing applications including SDH/SONET, FDDI, and satellite communications.
