Step 4. Perform system check
This section explains how to inspect the quality of measurements after configuring and
rebooting the WaveGuide system (the start-up process can take up to 5 minutes).
Step 4.1: Check system information page
The system information table can be reached through the status menu item on the top-right
of the web interface. The system info page displays the communication status (as shown in
Fig. 3.6). A communication status "INIT" indicates that the WaveGuide system is starting
up. Once the system has started (a process that can take up to five minutes after power-up)
the displayed status becomes ’OK’.
Figure 3.6: System information.
In the same table, the ratio between the number of performed and invalid measurements
gives an indication of the system performance. When the system is setup in a correct man-
ner, the number of invalid measurements should be below 10% of the number of performed
measurements. However, during the start up and communication initiation processes the
number of invalid measurements can grow to over 1000 (temporarily increasing the ra-
tio between invalid measurements and performed measurements). The number of invalid
measurements will show a slow increase after the initial invalid measurements.
