I'd be interested to know if you can quantify the random and
data-dependent jitter that's inherent in a TOSLINK connection. The
receiver I'm using, for example, specifies a pulse width distortion of
up to +/- 20ns, and a random jitter that's typically 1ns but with a max
of another 20ns.

Can I ask why you want to do this? The only reason would be if you're
taking a digital output of the TP and feeding it into another digital
source that is ALSO locked to the same word clock.
You can select the word clock source by using the WEB Browser within
the Transporter settings.
