(NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :A) today announced that it has signed a licensing agreement with SyntheSys Research, Inc for its error-analysis technology. This technology will allow engineers the ability to uncover the causes behind errors in digital components and system hardware. Though terms of the licensing agreement were not disclosed, Agilent said it will develop and globally market bit error ratio In telecommunication, an error ratio is the ratio of the number of bits, elements, characters, or blocks incorrectly received to the total number of bits, elements, characters, or blocks sent during a specified time interval. products that incorporate SyntheSys' BitAlyzer technology. &uot;We plan to rapidly deploy considerable resources to provide engineers around the globe with SyntheSys' highly sophisticated error-analysis technology,&uot; said Werner Huetteman, general manager of Agilent's Lightwave Division. &uot;Agilent's leadership position in the highspeed, bit error ratio test market made them an obvious choice to take this technology worldwide,&uot; said Tom Waschura, coinventor of SyntheSys Research's BitAlyzer technology. Error analysis looks for relationships between errors. For example, engineers can determine whether their errors are related to the AC voltage supply frequency, data pattern sensitivity, or an incorrectly connected multiplexer See multiplexor and multiplexing. multiplexer - multiplexor chip.
