Unreferenced PIDs
(3.4.a) This test checks that there are no unexpected ghost
PIDs.
Unexpected ghost PIDs are PIDs that are different from:

PIDs between 0 and 0x1F,

PIDs referred by the PAT (PMT PIDs),

PIDs referred by PMTs (e.g. video, audio, PCR,
ECM),

PIDs referred by the CAT (EMM),

PIDs that you consider as expected ghosts and
that you must set as such. To do so, click the
Add
private PID button and set the PID value in the
displayed field.
An alarm is raised if an unexpected ghost PID is present
during an amount of time greater than the duration
specified in the
Allowed duration without reference
field, in milliseconds.

PID 0x11 SDT BAT
(3.5.a.1) This test checks the Table Identifier (TID) of the sections
that are found on PID 0x11. The only TIDs that shall be
found are 0x42 (SDT actual), 0x46 (SDT other), 0x4A
(BAT) and 0x72 (ST).
There are no specific parameters to set.
This test checks the first part of the test 3.5.a
SDT_actual_error of TR 101 290.

SDT Actual Interval
(3.5.a.2) This test checks the intervals of each section of the SDT
actual.
An alarm is raised if the interval between two
occurrences of section 'x' of the SDT actual is greater
than the value set in the
Maximum period without SDT
actual field, in milliseconds.
This test checks the second part of the test 3.5.a
SDT_actual_error of TR 101 290.

  
SDT Other Interval (3.5.b) This test checks one SDT other periodicity.
Indicate the Transport Stream ID and the Original
network ID in the dedicated fields.
To check several SDT other, i.e. several couples
(Transport stream ID / Original network ID), you must
add this test several times.
An alarm is raised if the interval between two
occurrences of section 'x' of the SDT other is greater
than the value set in the
Maximum period without SDT
other field, in milliseconds.
