General BER & Signal Integrity Testing

Many applications require accurate and easy signal integrity validation.

BERTs have traditionally been the "Swiss Army knife" of test, proving useful in many satellite, government, signal integrity, and research applications. The flexibility of pattern, interface parameters, and now stress means that engineers are not tied to any one standard. This also allows experimentation with the limits of device performance, and new protocols to be tried out in board design when protocol equipment has not yet become available.
