6.9.1 ETR 290 — ETR Overview
The
ETR 290 — ETR Overview
view will show ETR 290 status for ETR 290 monitored streams. ETR
290 monitoring may be enabled for Ethernet streams in the
Multicasts — Streams — Edit
view. The
ASI input is always ETR 290 monitored unless the input is disabled, and streams received by the various
RF cards are also ETR 290 monitored.
The streams currently being analyzed are highlighted and a circular progress icon shows the monitoring
progress.
The analysis time for each stream is set as part of the
ETR thresholds
parameters list in the
ETR 290
— ETR thr. — Edit view.
The result of the different ETR 290 tests are shown as table entries in a condensed view called MicroETR,
a scaled down version of the regular ETR display, one icon representing one stream. Green color
indicates status OK whereas red color indicates an active alarm for that particular test. A white field
shows that a check has not yet been performed, usually due to lack of measurement data, and grey
indicates that a check is disabled. Tool-tip functionality allows the user to view the name of an individual
check in the MicroETR display. Let the mouse pointer hover over the field for a moment to view the
tool-tip.
When clicking one of the MicroETR icons the detailed ETR 290 status for that stream is displayed in
the
ETR 290 — ETR Details
view. By entering this view through the MicroETR, the view will remain
static irrespective of the round-robin looping, thus making it easy to examine one stream in detail without
interruptions. The round-robin looping and associated alarm handling will continue in the background.
Note that it is possible to deactivate individual ETR 290 alarms by defining appropriate
ETR thresholds
.
If the user wants to examine one particular Ethernet or demodulator stream in more detail, he can lock
the ETR 290 analysis to that stream by clicking the lock field at that stream. The round-robin operation of
the ETR 290 engine will then be stopped and a lock icon will appear as an indication that the monitoring
is locked to that stream. If a time limit has been set for the time lock (
Setup — ETR
view), a clock icon
will be superimposed on the lock icon. To re-activate the round-robin cycling the lock icon should be
