4.4.2.26.3 BERT
The Bit Error Rate Tester (BERT) option, shown in Figure 141, allows the user to measure system performance. It
does this by comparing received data to a specified data pattern and counting the ratio of errored bits to total
received bits. This may be useful for various forms of system testing, including transmitter or receiver RF integrity
verification. The available settings are:
•
Measurement
•
(Re)Start BERT
•
Pattern
•
Type
•
Time Limit (s)
•
Bit Limit
•
Error Limit
•
Gating
•
Restart on Resync
Note that BERT status is not available via the front panel interface, but it can be monitored via the Browser interface
or the API.
