Smart Mode

SmartMode allows to automatically identify the structure of the selected
SONET/SDH signal rate that is connected to the Transport Blazer module.
The identified signal structure can then, be used to simplify the setup of a
test case. SmartMode allows also to monitor the basic SONET/SDH
alarms/errors of each layer of the discovered signal structure.

Note: SmartMode is not available when a test is running. No other test functions

are available when SmartMode is running (Smart Scan, Trib Scan or Alarm
Scan).

The Smart Mode window is displayed by default when the GUI is started
