Viewing Results
BER and bit error results are shown in the normal display mode. However to
view the complete list of Test results, you must use the TEST Menu VIEW-CUR
or VIEW-PRE functions.
BER and Bit Errors
The Analyzer calculates BER and bit errors using all three measurement methods
(Totalize, Window, and Test). The current display mode determines which
BER/bit error result pair is shown in the display. Note that BER is shown in the
top, middle field while the bit error result is shown in the top, right field.
Procedure to View Desired BER and Bit Error Results
Press the DISPLAY SELECT key to select the appropriate display mode.
As noted earlier, the character in front of the BER result will indicate the current
display mode. The infinity symbol (∞) indicates Totalize; a blank character
indicates Window; and the T, U, or R characters indicate Test results which have
been measured using the timed, untimed, or repeat timing modes respectively.
All Other Results (Test Process only)
To view the complete set of Test results, select the VIEW-CUR or VIEW-PRE
functions from the TEST Menu. VIEW-CUR will show partial results if a timed
test is in progress, or results from the last completed test. VIEW-PRE will show
results saved in the "previous" test registers. These results are over-written with
the contents of the current registers each time a test is completed.
Procedure
1. Press F1 to enter the Menu system.
2. Select the TEST Menu (F2).
3. Press MORE (F1) twice to view the third page of the TEST Menu.
4. Select either VIEW-CUR or VIEW-PRE to view all current or previous
Test results respectively. Once inside either the VIEW-CUR or VIEW-
PRE function, use the pattern up/down keys to scroll through the results
list.
5. When done, press F1 multiple times to exit the Menu system.
