2.1.4.5. Custom Receiver With Input Clock

When you create a custom receiver with an input clock in the design space, a Clock-Path RX button appears in the lower-left corner of the Receiver tab page, as shown in the following image:
Figure 63. Custom Receiver With Input Clock UI

Clicking the Clock-Path RX button launches the Clock-Path Receiver Configuration Wizard interface, where you can configure the clock path receiver, as shown in the following image:

The clock path configurations are similar to that of the data path custom receiver with the following additional features and notes:

  • Jitter/Noise values and configurations set in the Clock-Path Receiver Configuration Wizard are transferred to the main interface's Clock Jitter/Noise panel. The jitter/noise values/configuration restores when you reopen the Clock-Path Receiver Configuration wizard.
