If the data is not cyclically continued, the measurement can be selectively interrupted and
restarted. Certain data sections and frames that have been marked as faulty can be
excluded from the measurement.

State
Switches the bit error rate measurement on/off. Depending on the selection in the
"Mode" box, either a continuous measurement ("Auto") or a single measurement ("Sin-
gle") is carried out. A single measurement must be started by clicking the "Execute Sin-
gle" button.

Bit Error Rate
Displays the measured bit error rate.
The bit error rate is the ratio of occurred errors to transmitted data bits.
The display unit can be selected in the box to the right of the value.
"ENG"
The bit error rate is output in exponential notation with the exponent –3
or –6.
"SCI"
The bit error rate is output in scientific notation, i.e. standardized to one
place to the left of the decimal.
"%"
The bit error rate is output in percent.
"ppm"
The bit error rate is output in parts per million.
