ChapterĀ 14
BERT Drivers

This chapter describes all of the available drivers for bit error rate testers (BERTs)

14.1 Antikernel Labs

Device Family Driver Transport

Notes

AKL-TXB1 akl.crossbar lan

14.1.1 akl.crossbar

This is the driver for the AKL-TXB1 trigger crossbar and CDR trigger system. The front panel transceiver ports can also be used as a BERT.

14.2 MultiLANE

Device Family Driver Transport

Notes

ML4039-BTP mlbert lan

Use scopehal-mlbert-bridge

14.2.1 mlbert

This driver is intended to connect via the scopehal-mlbert-bridge server for network transparency and does not directly link to the MultiLANE SDK or talk directly to the instrument. The bridge requires a Windows PC since MultiLANE’s SDK is Windows only, however the libscopehal clientside driver can run on any supported OS.

It was developed using a ML4039-BTP but may work with other similar models as well.
