Hi, I am looking for a python script that can calculate the bit error rate from data that is being manipulated by the M8020A BERT connected to a PC through a USB port. The code should be able to collect data from the BERT and compare that data with the original transmitted string of bits. Then the BER is evaluated.
Thanks!
Hi JoeM,
In order to effectively use your M8020A to calculate BER and other useful numbers, I would definitely recommend taking a look at our BERT software and solution sets. There you will find powerful tools which will allow you to make the most of your high-performance instrument.
However, for help designing your own software you may find our M8000 Series Programming Guide to be extremely useful. This document includes programming examples as well as all the commands you will need to talk to the M8020A.
Hope this helps.
