Abstract
There is provided an error rate monitor ( ) incorporating a counter ( ) which is incremented as errors are detected in a data stream passing through an interface unit ( ) connected to the counter ( ). The counter ( ) is also simultaneously decremented at a rate proportional to an exponential of a value presently stored in the counter ( ). The monitor ( ) thereby provides from the value stored in the counter ( ) a measure of error rate in the data stream, the value substantially proportional to a logarithm of error rate in the data stream, thereby providing the monitor ( ) with a relatively large error rate monitoring dynamic range.
