Non-intrusive Tap
Also known as passive tapping, this approach silently samples the signal without
re-driving the differential lines (high value resistors contribute to reduction in amplitude
~15%).
Repeater Tap
In repeater mode, the analyzer reproduces the exact patterns it receives on the inbound
(RX) line. While the repeater does not re-time the signal—it does "clean-up" normal
reflections that can occur over a full length cable when the analyzer is not in the line.
