The HP/Agilent 3782B Error Detector measures and analyzes bit error rates in digital communication systems with simultaneous tracking of error rate, error count, error seconds, and error-free seconds. This instrument quantifies binary, code, and parity errors to identify performance degradation and error distribution patterns across telecommunications, data networking, and digital communication test applications. Remote control and system integration are enabled through an HPIB (IEEE 488) interface supporting Bell Systems configuration.
– Technical Specifications
• Simultaneous measurement of error rate, error count, error seconds, and error-free seconds
• Error types measured: binary, code, and parity
• Interface: HPIB (IEEE 488)
• Dimensions: approximately 21 × 13 inches
• Weight: approximately 30 lbs (with HPIB)
– Key Features
• Error distribution analysis for pattern identification and root cause analysis
• Preselectable error rate threshold for automated result printing and analysis
• Single gating period captures complete system performance snapshot
• Option 001 available: DS-3 data input connector (WECO 440A to BNC conversion)
– Typical Applications
• R&D validation of digital communication equipment
• Manufacturing test and quality assurance
• Field maintenance and performance optimization
• Telecommunications and data network system characterization
– Compatibility & Integration
The 3782B functions as a companion instrument to the HP/Agilent 3781B pattern generator for bidirectional error analysis. HPIB connectivity permits integration into automated test systems and remote measurement suites. Standard three-prong power cord required (not always included with used units).
