OVERVIEW: Start a measurement by selecting
START at the Measurement field. The RTAU will
wait for pattern sync and frame sync for framed
patterns before starting the measurement. After
synchronizing, the measurement display will
change to RUNNING. Stop any measurement by
selecting STOP. Refer to Figure 17 for a RTAU
configuration screen showing a test that is starting.
Note: If the Mode is set to MONE, MONF,
LOOPE, or LOOPF, only frame sync is required
before starting the measurement. If the pattern is
not in sync, then the Data Error Counts will read
“N/A” until pattern sync is established.

STOP Terminate measurement. Note: Setting the
Mode field to DISABLE also stops any
measurement in progress as if the Measurement
field had been set to STOP.
