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.
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 and bit error.
Pattern sets the test pattern that will be generated: PRBS31 (default) or
NULL Client (0000).
Invert check box, when selected (cleared by default), inverts the
generated/expected test pattern meaning that every 0 will be changed for 1
and every 1 for 0. For example, the pattern 1100 will be sent as 0011.
Bit Error
Pass/Fail Verdict enables and sets the bit error rate/count threshold prior to
run the test. This allows for a simple pass/fail verdict, leaving no room for
misinterpretation of the test results. To enable the pass/fail verdict, select
either Bit Error Count or Bit Error Rate (default is Disabled).
BER Threshold allows entering the maximum bit error count/rate allowed
before declaring a fail verdict: 0 (default) to 999999 for count; 1.0E-14 to
1.9E-01 (default is 1.0E-12) for rate.
