Figure 2–26: SDH Results, SDH Section Defects, from RESULTS menu
The SDH or PDH RESULTS page contains a listing of the different
errors that can occur. Since you have not started your test yet, the
values are those of the last test run. To continue with the test setup,
select TEST SUMMARY.
Begin the Test
Note at the top of the display the message Measurements Stopped.
When you start the test, this message will change. To start the test,
press the front-panel START/STOP button.
Once a test starts, the display changes in two ways. First, the
message Running appears at the top of the display (see Figure 2–27).
This message line is always visible so you know that a test is
running, even if a page is displayed that doesn’t contain any
information about tests. Second, the test status indicator appears.
There are two elements to the test status indicator. The text above the
bar graph indicates how long the test has been running. The text lists
the days, hours, minutes, and seconds the test has been running. The
bar graph indicates what percentage of the test is complete (except
when the test duration is set to continuous).
