In the BER Test panel, the following parameters may be configured:
Pkts: the number of packets to be sent (if 0, the test will end when the STOP button is
pressed)
Delay ms: delay in milliseconds between 2 packets
Payload size: the size of each packet (up to 239 bytes, but based on the transmission
parameters, this could be smaller. 128 bytes is an adequate size).
Once the configuration is done, the user may click the START button to start the BER
session.
The BER Test session ends when the TX Node has transmitted as many packet as
configured or when the user presses the STOP button. During the session, the bit error rate
is computed and displayed in the RX Node area of the TESTLAB panel.
The TX settings may be modified, in the PHY / PLME menu, to test different conditions
(modulation, output level, etc.) as well as the whole setup to perform different tests.
