68 7: Collecting and Viewing Data Remotely
The data port accepts no input, all input to data port connections is discarded by the PNTS.
Phase difference measurements are published while the test set is in the Collecting state. See
“3.2.1 Collecting State” on page 13. When data collection is stopped or the test set is in the
Initializing state, no data is published. Once collection is restarted, phase differences are output
again. This means that a data port connection can be kept open while collection is stopped, input or
reference signal sources are changed, and collection is restarted.
To retrieve phase difference data remotely:
1. Access the Data port.
For more information, see “7.1 Accessing the PNTS Remotely and Exiting the
Remote Session” on page 58.
If you want to store the data in a file, tell your Telnet software to capture the data.
If no phase difference data is published on the command port, the test set is not in the
Collecting state - connect to the command port and start data collection. See “7.2.2
Starting and Stopping Data Collection” on page 59 for details.
