Response to Query
Rx BERT
Reset
BRS= None
Command
only.
Reset Rx BERT
Example: BRS=
BRS=
BRS?
BRS*
BRS#
N/A N/A
Rx BERT
Errors
N/A
7 bytes
Query only.
Read the total number of Bit Errors.
Example: ERR=9999999
N/A ERR? N/A
Rx BERT
BER
N/A
6 bytes
Query only.
Unit returns the value of the BERT BER in the form a.b x 10
-c
. First
three bytes are the value. Last two bytes are the exponent. Returns
0.0E00 if the BERT is not synchronized to a pattern.
Example: BBR=4.9E12
N/A BBR? BBR=a.bEcc
(see description of
arguments)

0=2047
1=Mark
2=Space
3=1:1
4=1:3
5=2^15-1
6=2^20-1
