Command Descriptions

01-0799-401D 08/02

TT

Transmit Timing Frequency (Monitor)

Use this command to query the frequency of the TT clock supplied by the DTE to
the data I/O connector of the CM701. The parameter has an accuracy that is better
than ±1 percent of the frequency being measured. The frequency of the TT clock
is expressed in Hertz.

TT ?

This command is only available when a stand-alone I/O option card is in use. It is
not available during BERT operation. When the BEN parameter is 1 (enabled), a
TT query will result in a remote ER 4 response or a front panel N/A message.

From the front panel select:

Monitor > Tx Clk
