– Bit Error Rate Testing
There is a separate BERT for each data path in the receiver (0 main channel, 1 combiner channel). By default all
commands are targeted to the current “tracking channel”, 0 or 1.
The results of the test can be displayed using the BER command with no parameters or a continuous display can be
produced using BER D 1. BER D 0 turns off the continuous display.
