Window (PTW) to measure a table with a specific repetition rate;
In the “Interface Settings” section:

- Enable and Configure the SNMP interface;
4.5 TS Advanced Settings

Enable and configure Short, Medium and Long Term statistical databases

; used for example to

4.6 Mosaic Configuration
The XCT interrogates Xpect and determines the monitors connected to Xpect. The screen is divided
into a grid to help with alignment and positioning. The XCT shows the available screen area.
Configuration steps:
A. Select a Cell Template from the Cell Templates in the right hand window pane. Click and drag
onto the Mosaic grid. This can be a Full screen video cell, Large video cell, Medium video
cell, Small video cell, Radio Cell, Clock or Picture/Logo. Different cell layouts are available per
cell size. Most video cell Templates will have 4 indicators:
P1: TR 101 290 Priority 1 errors
P2: TR 101 290 Priority 2 errors
T: User defined Template errors
Alarm border for Confidence tests: Frozen/Black video or Audio silence errors
B. Select a video/radio service from the list of available services
7
in the Left hand window pane
of the XCT. Use one of the options;
-
Drag the service name you wish to display from the list of available services into the Cell
Template. When you release you will see the Cell service information update.
-
Double click on the checkbox next to the service name you wish to display from the list of
available services. You will see the Cell service information update.
C. Instead of the manual Mosaic configuration you can also use the predefined template layouts
(like ‘All TV’) and the ‘Automatic Service insertion’ to automatically assign the available services

NOTE: Make sure sufficient memory and CPU resources are available for all streaming sessions

NOTE: Statistical databases will decrease the maximum Xpect performance; make sure to only enable these
databases when really required (for example when interrogating the stats using the SOAP interface).
