Appendix C – Additional Tests for FX919B and FX929B 

Test 8: Repetitive pattern test B to A 

1 Application 

 

To transmit long formatted messages filled with identical data bytes from channel B and receive 
them in channel A to check for possible pattern sensitivity. If the path from Channel B to channel A 
includes the actual radio circuitry to be used in a system, this test will give an indication of any 
pattern sensitivity problem which may be due to inadequate end to end overall baseband 
frequency and group delay responses. 

 
2 Description 

This test transmits 8 messages for each of the 256 possible data byte values.  
Each transmitted message consists of Symbol Sync, Frame Sync, Station ID Block (FX929B 
only), Header Block, 42 Intermediate Blocks and a Last Block. 
For each byte value the rest reports the average receive data quality and the number of messages 
received without error. 
All commands written to either command register during the test include the CRC and TXIMP bit 
settings from the panel.  

 

 

An alert box provides the option to save results to a file (default name ES9000.XLT) upon test 
completion. 

 
3 Screen 

Controls 

 

There are no windows dedicated to this test.  Press the HALT switch to abort this test. 

 
4 Test 

Sequence 

 

Because of its complexity, it is not practical to document the complete test sequence.  Instead, 
refer to the sequence documented in Section 4.6.6 Test 6: "BER & DQ test 'B' to 'A' using 
formatted messages" for a representative sequence of modem control. 

 
5 Error 

Codes 

 

Similar to the error codes for Test 6, see Table 20.
