There is provided programmability, automatic error correction, flexible inter-path implementation for a bit error rate estimator. The bit error rate estimator uses an initialization configuration for a number of memory elements of a reference pattern generator in such a way as to eliminate the need for an N bit counter. In addition, the bit error rate estimator allows for two error correction options that may be pre-grammed into the system. One option allows the system administrator to monitor the errors in the system and take steps as deemed necessary. Another option generates a new reference pattern if the number of errors detected reaches a predetermined maximum amount. Thus, the bit error rate estimator provides automatic error correction, programmability, and flexible inter-path implementation.
