number higher than “0” and then reaches “0” during test, the

OVERVIEW: Start a measurement by selecting START at the

STOP

 

 

 

 

Measurement field. The RTAU will wait for pattern sync and

 

 

 

 

 

frame sync for framed patterns before starting the measurement.

 

 

 

 

 

After synching, the measurement display will change to

 

 

 

 

 

RUNNING. Stop any measurement by selecting STOP. Refer to

 

 

 

 

 

Figure 570-15for an RTAU Config screen showing a test that is

 

 

 

 

 

starting.

 

 

 

 

 

Note: If the Mode is set to MONE, MONF, LOOPE, or LOOPF,

 

 

 

 

 

only frame sync is required before starting the measurement. If the

 

 

 

 

 

pattern is not in sync, then the Data Error Counts will read “N/A”

 

 

 

 

 

until pattern sync is established.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

START

Initiate measurement.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

STOP

Terminate measurement. Note: Setting the Mode field to

 

 

 

 

 

DISABLE also stops any measurement in progress, as if the

 

 

 

 

 

Measurement field had been set to STOP.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

RUNNING

Measurement active.

field when the Measurement field is set to START. The

 

 

 

 

 

WAITING ON SYNC message is display only; it only shows

Examine the status section to determine what sync is needed.
