Description
BE [c] M
Measurement Enable
Starts or stops bit error measurement (toggle command)
If a time limit, bit count, or error count limit is set and the limit
has been reached (enabled but not running) the BERT is
restarted.
[c] is optional and indicates channel 0 or 1
If channel is omitted, the current tracking channel (TC)
is used
If TC is 2, a channel number is required
Examples:
BE M Enter command once to Start bit error measurement,
current tracking channel
BE M Enter command again to Stop bit error measurement
current tracking channel
BE 1 M Enter command once to Start bit error measurement,
for channel 1
BE [c] R
Hardware Bit Error
Register Display
Reports the bit error register status
[c] is optional and indicates channel 0 or 1
If channel is omitted, the current tracking channel (TC)
is used
If TC is 2, a channel number is required
Example:
BE 1 R
Report bit register state for channel 1
BE [c] W
reg value
Set Hardware Bit Error
Register
Sets hardware bit error register 'reg' to 'value'
[c] is optional and indicates channel 0 or 1
If channel is omitted, the current tracking channel (TC)
is used
If TC is 2, a channel number is required
‘reg’ is hex register index 00 to 0a
‘value’ is 32 bit hex value to write to register
The Hardware Bit Error Register Display reports the current status of the bit error rate test (BERT).
A column header is displayed every ten rows.
The 'E' column indicates the BERT is enabled by displaying a pound sign '#'. If the BERT is not enabled, this
column is blank.
The 'R' column indicates the BERT is actually running and making a measurement by displaying a '!'. If the BERT is
not running, this column is blank.
