Remote Commands

test_report?

Test Report Query. Returns a character string indicating the current setup of the test report parameter.

Min. Abbr.	test_r
Returns	[eoton_errorbothnone]
Example	test_report?	(command)
	TEST_REPORT BOTH	(response)

test_squelch [onoff]

Test Squelch. Enables or disables squelching of On-Error reports.

Min. Abbr.	test_sq
Arguments	on:	On-Error reports will be squelched after 10 consecutive
		reports, that is 10 consecutive seconds in which BER
		is above the Test Error Rate threshold. On-Error
		reports will then be automatically unsquelched
		after five consecutive seconds in which BER is not
		above the Test Error Rate threshold.
	off:	On-Error report squelching is disabled.
Example	test_squelch on

test_squelch?

Test Squelch Query. Returns a character string indicating the current setup of the test squelch parameter.

Min. Abbr.	test_sq?
Returns	[onoff]
Example	test_squelch?	(command)
	TEST_SQUELCH ON	(response)
