Note: Available with Pattern client.
From the test menu, tap Setup, Test Configurator, and tap on the BERT or
Unframed BERT block.
Pattern
The icon next to the Pattern label indicates the status of the received
pattern signal. Refer to Status Bar on page 40 for more information.
TX Rate, available with ODUflex mapped to pattern, allows the
selection of the transmission rate. Unit choices are %, Kbit/s, Mbit/s,
and Gbit/s (default).
Coupled RX to TX check box, when selected (default), couples both
the TX and RX signal with the same test pattern. For a framed test, the
Coupled RX to TX check box is selected and cannot be cleared. For
unframed parallel test, the Coupled RX to TX check box is selectable
(selected by default) when All Lanes is selected.
No Pattern Analysis (Live) check box when cleared (default),
monitors the received traffic pattern. For live traffic, the No Pattern
Analysis (Live) check box should be selected as the traffic is a live
pattern thus there is no analysis of pattern loss, bit error, and no traffic
indications. Only available with a framed test.
TX Pattern / RX Pattern allows selecting the test pattern for each
direction. When User Pattern is selected, enter the payload pattern
hexadecimal value. For Multi-Pattern, see Multi-Pattern Configuration
on page 228.
