Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to a method for adjusting transitions in a bit stream of a signal to be evaluated by comparison with a predetermined expected bit stream, comprising the steps of receiving said bit stream signal by a transition adjustment filter, providing a transition frame signal to said transition adjustment filter, said transition frame signal providing information for eliminating non-deterministic clock latencies within said bit stream of said received signal, and adjusting said bit stream of said received signal according to said transition frame signal resulting in an adjusted bit stream being in alignment to said expected bit stream.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).
