Summary
Note: For Multi-Pattern, alarms/errors are available for each pattern. An arrow in
front of a specific pattern indicates the pattern that is currently
generated/analyzed. All represents the sum of alarms/errors as well as the
consolidated rate for all patterns.
BER Threshold is available when Pass/Fail Verdict is enabled
1
.
Restart Sequence button, available with multi-pattern, clears results
and restarts the multi-pattern sequence with the first enabled pattern
in the list. This is the only way to restart the multi-pattern sequence and
to allow synchronization between two test sets.
For back-to-back testing using two test sets, create a multi-pattern test
on both units, tap the Restart Sequence button on each unit within 5
seconds apart. Once synchronized, start the test on each unit.
Bit/Pattern Error Rate/Count graphically displays a meter
representing either the bit/pattern error rate or the bit/pattern error
count depending on the Pass/Fail Verdict selection
1
.
When the verdict is enabled
1
, the values under the threshold are
presented in green while the values above are in red.
When the verdict is disabled, the bit/pattern error rate is displayed in
blue.
The arrow pointer indicates the current received bit/pattern error
rate/count.
The Pass/Fail verdict is displayed just on top of the meter when
enabled
1
.
Bit/Pattern Error, Amount/Rate, and Inject: The bit/pattern error
injection and settings are coupled with the Inject Button on page 295.
