"Pending" state
Depending on the signaling application and its configuration, the R&S CMW500 may
require some time to provide the generator signal.
While the signaling generator is turned on but still waiting for resource allocation, adjust-
ment, hardware switching, a yellow sandglass symbol in the control softkey indicates the
"pending" state.
The yellow symbol disappears as soon as the signaling generator signal is available.
4.4.3 Connection States
After the cell signal is available, the mobile station under test can synchronize to the signal
and attempt a registration so that it is possible to set up a network connection. The con-
nection states and state transitions are network-specific; refer to the description of the
individual signaling applications.
When the connection is established, the R&S CMW500 is ready to perform signaling
tests.
4.5 Markers
Markers are tools for numerical readout of measured data in diagrams. A marker is dis-
played with a symbol on the trace. At the same time, the coordinates are displayed above
the diagram.
In many views, the R&S CMW500 provides a reference marker (R) and additional mark-
ers labeled (1) and (2):
●
The reference marker (R) indicates the coordinates of a trace point and defines the
reference values for all relative markers.
●
The markers (1) and (2) can be configured as absolute or relative markers. Absolute
markers indicate the coordinates of a trace point. Relative markers indicate the coor-
dinates relative to the position of the reference marker.
The "Trace Mode" defines whether all markers are always set to the same trace in the
view ("Collective" mode) or positioned individually ("Individual" mode).
