1.2.The Tester
Interaction with xGenius is based on a high resolution capacitive colour touch screen,
and different kinds of status LEDs There are six LEDs (Run, Event, Power, DC, Port A
summary, Port B summary). Their description is given below:
•Run: This is a LED that shows the current test status. The green colour is used to
display a test running status. Off, means that there is no test running. Orange is
displayed in the period of time between the action from the user to start / stop a
test and the actual test start / stop.
•Event: A green Event LED is displayed when the equipment is generating some
kind of impairment configured through the event insertion menu. The LED stays in
off status when no event is being inserted
• Power: Displays the current tester on / off status. The green colour is displayed
under normal operation conditions. Orange and red are shown to indicate a low
battery load.
• DC: This led is lit when the DC input is connected. Orange indicates a charging
batteries status and green means that the internal batteries are ready.
• Port 1 / Port 2 Summary: These LEDs provide a permanent indication of the cur-
rent input signal (or signals) status. The LEDs summarize the Port A and Port B
