Configuring Test Parameters

Although connectivity configurations do not need to be saved to disk in
order to be used in the current test session, you may find it useful to store it
for future tests.

To save the current connectivity configuration:
1.
Click Save.

2. From the dialog box, specify the name of the connectivity and click

Save. The name of the new connectivity file is now displayed in the
Configuration File box, at the bottom of the tab.

To reload a DUT connectivity configuration:
1.
Click Open.

2. From the dialog box, select the connectivity file that you want to use

(file with a .dut extension) and click Open. The file content has been
automatically loaded onto the grid.

Configuring Test Parameters

The Acquisition Settings tab has been designed to specify all the
necessary parameters for the system to perform a test.

To configure test parameters:
1.
If the Acquisition Settings tab is grayed out, that means no test has

been created since the application was started. To enable the tab, start
a new test. For more information, see Starting a New Test on page 118.

2. From the Measurement Selection zone, select the types of tests you

want to perform.

3. Indicate the appropriate values in dB for bandwidth analysis. For

central wavelength, select BW1, BW2 or BW3 from the list. For more
information on bandwidth and central wavelength, see Definitions and
Calculation Methods
on page 405.
