Abstract
A test and measurement instrument includes an input to receive a non-return-to-zero (NRZ) waveform signal from a device under test, a ramp generator to use the NRZ waveform signal to generate a ramp sweep signal, a gate to gate the ramp sweep signal and the NRZ waveform signal to produce gated X-axis and Y-axis data, and a display to display the gated X-axis and Y-axis data as a cyclic loop image. A method of generating a cyclic loop image includes receiving an input waveform, using the input waveform to generate a ramp sweep signal, gating the ramp sweep signal and the input waveform to produce gated X-axis and Y-axis data, and displaying the gated X-axis and Y-axis data as a cyclic loop image.
