CTS 710 SONET Test Set User Manual 3–141
Setting Pointers and Changing Timing
This section describes how to generate pointer movements within the
transmitted signal. When stress testing a network, you may want to
move pointers or introduce a frequency offset. The CTS 710 SONET
Test Set allows you to control this type of testing five ways. You can:
HMake discrete pointer movements under manual control
HMake repetitive pointer movements at a rate you determine
HIntroduce a frequency offset in the internally generated SPE
HIntroduce a frequency offset in the transmit rate
HGenerate sequences of pointer movements
Setting Pointers
To set up the CTS 710 to make discrete or repetitive pointer
movements:
1. Specify the pointer mode as follows:
Press Menu
Button Select Menu Page Highlight Parameter Select Choice
TRANSMIT POINTERS &
TIMING Pointer / Timing Mode Pointer Movement
The choices allow you to choose to move pointers using time
parameters or with a frequency offset. Selecting Pointer
Movements moves pointers utilizing time parameters.
