5.4.6.1 Basic RPM Principles
The principles of R&S CMW500 Resource and Path Management can be summarized
very briefly:
●
Non-conflicting tasks can run in parallel without restriction.
●
A new measurement or generator that is in conflict with a running task replaces the
running task. Exception: Measurements cannot replace generator or signaling appli-
cations. A new, conflicting measurement is blocked until a running generator or sig-
naling application is switched off by other means.
●
Generator and signaling applications are released immediately, measurements are
released after the current measurement cycle.
According to the last rule, conflicting measurements are queued, see Queuing of Meas-
urements. A new measurement is started only after all previous measurements have
been terminated in a regular way.
The RPM principles can be visualized as follows:
Two measurements in conflict, second measurement queued
Generator and measurement in conflict
Signaling applications behave like generators and must be turned off explicitly.
