be applied to all TX timeslots when tapping the
Set All
button:
Pattern
,

TX
Tap once or several times on each timeslot until the desired payload
content appears:
Pattern
(default),
Idle
, or
Tone
. For E0, timeslots 0
and 16 (PCM30 and PCM30 CRC4) are not configurable; timeslot 0
generates the FAS/NFAS framing; timeslot 16 generates a static MFAS
frame when TX Signaling is disabled and generates a frame with
Signaling capability when TX Signaling is enabled.
Note:
For Pattern, the pattern used is the one selected from Pattern on page 78.

allows the selection of a tone for digital milliwatt testing.
The signal output power, when converted to analog, is 0 dBm. Choices
are

timeslots set to Tone.
Idle
uses the Idle code byte from the Idle field. Choices are
00
to
FF
.
The selected Idle code applies to all timeslots set to Idle. The default
setting is
7F

Note: The timeslots set to Idle or Tone can be changed from Idle to Tone and vice
versa even when the test is running; the Idle and Tone values can also be
changed.

allows either displaying the Idle code values in binary (when
selected) or in hexadecimal (default).
