Monitoring Test Patterns
Use the Monitor command to monitor a QRSS test pattern over all the channels
on the network interface, or to monitor QRSS or 511 test patterns on the channels
allocated to an individual port.
This command provides the number of errors detected in the test pattern (5
digits, maximum 99999).
