on the test structure, the Alarms/Errors page may be split in different tabs
such as OTN, GFP-T/GFP-F, and Ethernet; tap on the desired tab when
required.

zoomed view giving more details like alarms/errors for each lane (parallel
interface), errors in seconds, count, and rate.

seconds, count, and rate, the error is displayed in Seconds per default. To

(default), Count, or Rate.

all lanes when Count or Rate unit is selected.
