Bit Error
Pass/Fail Verdict allows enabling bit-error-rate pass/fail verdict by
selecting either Bit Error Count or Bit Error Rate. The default value 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 error count allowed before
declaring a fail verdict: 0 (default) to 999999.
For Rate, enter the maximum bit error rate allowed before declaring a
fail verdict: 1.0E-14 to 1.9E-01. The default value is 1.0E-12.
Service Disruption
The Service Disruption Time (SDT) corresponds to the duration associated
to a defect that occurred in the network. For example a disruption that
occurs during a network switching from the active channels to the backup
channels or vice versa.
Disruption Monitoring check box when selected (disabled by
default) enables the disruption time measurements. However, the
measurement will only start if the test is already started, or when the
test is started.
Note: Clearing the Disruption Monitoring check box will stop the measurement
without clearing the results. The disruption monitoring is automatically
stopped without clearing results when the test is stopped. However, starting
the test again while the Disruption Monitoring check box is selected will
reset the results before restarting.
Note: The service disruption measurements are cleared when changing the
criteria.
