PRBS3 ~ PRBS32 code output, with adjustable rate between 10-6 bps

There are not many affordable (new) instruments on the market that can generate PRBS signals. Having built my own PRBS generator last year, I am excited to see this function now being added to this popular series of devices. But the "adjustable rate between 10-6 bps" in this quote kept me puzzled.
I now think where this comes from. According to the datasheet, the rate can be set "between 10-6 bps and 40 Mbps". That first scientific notation somehow must got degenerated into the text in the quote above ^-^ ^-^
I guess this 10-6 bps setting is included for people with a lot of patience. If I'm not mistaken, that is one bit every million seconds, so 11.6 days per bit. To play back a single, regular PRBS PN15 sequence (which has a length of 215-1 bits) would take 1040 years, not to mention that you at least need a couple of these sequences in order to do things such as locating bit errors....

:-DD
Back when I copy/pasted from Gurgle Translate little things might go wrong.....
Now we have an English datasheet which does indeed state 40 Mbps.
