8. ANALYZING A MONITOR TRACE
8.1. About this Chapter
This chapter describes the signaling protocol analysis function of the instrument. You
can analyze saved or real time monitor traces directly on the instrument’s screen.
Various display modes are available to make data analysis easier. It is possible to
filter out data so that only the important messages are visible on the screen. Every
message is labeled with a date, time, and direction of the message (
Æ TE or Æ NT).
The displayed data can be downloaded to a printer or a computer. You are also able
to save this filtered data, provided that enough memory is available.
You can display a trace in four modes:
►
Overview mode
►
Hexadecimal decoding mode
►
Mix decoding mode
►
Full decoding mode.
For the analysis of a POTS access, filters and displaying
modes are not the same as ISDN.
8.2. Analyzing a Trace
To analyze a trace:
1 Open the HISTORY menu.
2 Select the list of saved MONITOR tests.
