EB/CV | An Errored Block (EB) is a block in which one or more bits are in error. The EB if | |
| therefore equivalent to the Code Violation (CV) count calculated and displayed in the | |
| previous versions of the DL3800E. This count allows a user to monitor the rate of EB | |
| faults on a line that is unavailable. | |
| EBs are counted in the unavailable state; ES, SES, and BBE are not counted in the | |
| unavailable state. | |
|
| |
ES | An Errored Second (ES) is a one second period with one or more errored blocks | |
| (such as one or more CRC4 errors) or an Out Of Frame (OOF). This display provides | |
| the number of ESs that have occurred in the accumulation period. ESs are not | |
| accumulated during UAS. | |
|
| |
SES | Severely Errored Seconds (SES) is a | |
| errored blocks or at least one severely disturbed period (SDP). An SDP is present if | |
| either a LOS, AIAS, or LOF occurs. | |
| Since there are 1000 blocks per second, an SES is a one second period which | |
| contains either a combination of 300 or more CRC4 errors, an OOF, or at least one | |
| of the following: LOS, AIS, or LOF. This requirement is a slight change from the prior | |
| DL3800E unit SES definition, which required 320 or more CRC4 errors or LOS, AIS, | |
| or LOF. SESs are not accumulated during UAS. | |
|
| |
BBE | A Background Block Error (BBE) is an errored block not occurring as part of an SES. | |
| A BBE is calculated and displayed as a raw count of | |
| updated at the end of every measurement second excepting any second that is an | |
| SES. The updated count is discarded for all UAS. | |
|
| |
UAS | Unavailable Seconds. This display provides the number of UAS that have occurred in | |
| the accumulation period. At the onset of 10 consecutive SES events, a period of | |
| unavailable seconds begins. These 10 seconds are part of the unavailable seconds | |
| count. At the onset of 10 consecutive | |
| begins. These 10 seconds are part of available time. | |
| UAS only occurs at the onset of 10 SES. | |
| ES, SES, and BBE are not counted during unavailable time. Rate parameters ESR, | |
| SESR, and BBER are the ratio of the | |
| available time. | |
