Eye width is UI-Tj(BER). Sigtest and oscilloscopes use the dual dirac method to 
extrapolate Tj@BER. They dont actually measure it, especially for BER=10e-12.
Tj(BER) = 2*Qber*Rj+Dj.

Tj(pp) is not useful to calculate eye width due to the Rj distribution having 
unbounded behavior.

Check this app note for additional details. You will find the values of Qber 
here.
