Corrected
BER

Command:
Response:

>add/CBER_xm.mE-ee'cr''lf']

Where:

x = < or > (data modifier to indicate that the error
rate is less than or greater than the returned
value).

m.m = 1.0 to 9.9 (error rate mantissa).

ee = 1 to 99 (error rate exponent).

Notes:
1.

The 'x' (< or >) parameter is only

returned if the error rate has exceeded the
computational resolution of the system.
2.

'No Data' is returned if the error rate

cannot be calculated.
3.

'Sampling' is returned if not enough data

is currently available to calculate the error rate.

Response:

Examples:

>add/CBEL_t.t;s1,s2,s3 ... sn'cr''lf']

[No new compiled data from last
poll]
>add/CBEL_1.0'cr''lf']

[Momentary lock in 32 time intervals:
2.0E-3, 5.2E-7, 1.0E-10, <1.0E-12]

>add/CBEL_1.0;,,,,,,,2003,5207,101
0,<1012,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,'cr''lf']

Where:

t.t = Time between corrected BER samples in
seconds ('0.1' to '9.9').

; = At least one data point has been logged.

s1 to sn = Corrected BER samples in the format
of (xmmee).

x = The optional data modifier '<' or '>' (less than
or greater than).

mm = The corrected BER mantissa ('10' for 1.0
to '99 for 9.9).

ee = The corrected BER negative exponent ('00'
to '99').

Error data (samples) are compiled at the nominal
system rate indicated by the time parameter (t.t).
The samples are stored in a thirty-two-element
FIFO. When the 'CBEL_' command is received,
the samples in the FIFO are formatted and
returned as indicated.

The FIFO is then

flushed. If the FIFO becomes full, the oldest
sample will be lost as the current sample is
written.

Notes:
1.

The most recent sample is represented

by 'sn' while the least recent sample is
represented by 's1'.
2.

Data delimited by a comma (',') will be

returned for all time intervals logged.
3.

The optional data modifiers '>' and '<'

are only present if the error rate exceeds the
computational resolution of the system.
