Test Setup - Test Configurator, Timer, and System
94 MAX-800 Series
EtherBERT and Unframed BERT
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. Patterns PRBS15, PRBS23, and PRBS31 are defined inverted as
per ITU standard but EXFO uses non-inverted patterns for Ethernet test
applications and EoOTN.
Bit/Pattern Error
The configuration of Bit Error is available with all patterns at the exception
of Seed A and Seed B for which Pattern Error is available.
Pass/Fail Verdict enables and sets the bit/pattern 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/Pattern Error Countor
Bit/Pattern Error Rate (default is Disabled).
BER Threshold allows entering the threshold Count or Rate value that
will be used to declare the pass/fail verdict.
For Count, enter the maximum bit/pattern error count allowed before
declaring a fail verdict: 0 (default) to 999999.
For Rate, enter the maximum bit/pattern error rate allowed before
declaring a fail verdict: 1.0E-14 to 1.9E-01. The default value is 1.0E-12.
Service Disruption
Note: Not available when the No Pattern Analysis (Live) check box is selected.
No Traffic Time (ms) represents the time between two Ethernet
Frames that is acceptable without raising an alarm including a Service
Disruption event: 0.005 ms to 1000 ms in step of 0.005 ms (default is
50 ms). Only available with EtherBERT.
