Description Test Period Logging
If degradations in system performance can be observed at an early stage,
then the appropriate remedial action can be taken to maximize circuit
availability and avoid system crashes. Test period logging allows you to
monitor the error performance of your circuit. At the end of the test
period the selected results are logged. Results can be logged at regular
intervals during the test period by selecting a LOGGING PERIOD of
shorter duration than the test period. An instant summary of the results
can be demanded by pressing
without affecting the test in
progress.
Error Event Logging
Manual tracing of intermittent faults is time consuming. Error event
logging allows you to carry out unattended long term monitoring of the
circuit. Each occurrence of the selected error event is logged.
The results obtained during the test are retained in memory until they
are overwritten by the next set of results. The results can be logged at
any time during the test period and at the end of the test period. The
results required are selected using
LOGGING
SETUP .
Any Alarm occurrence results in a timed and dated message being
logged.
BER and Analysis results can be selected by the user.
Cumulative and Period versions of the results are calculated and can be
selected by the user.
Period The results obtained over a set period of time during
the test. The Period is defined by the LOGGING
PERIOD selection.
Cumulative The results obtained over the time elapsed since the
start of the test.
The results can be logged to the following devices, selectable using
