Chapter 2 Data Communications Testing
Measuring round trip delay
Data Communications and Diphase Testing Manual

To perform BER analysis of a circuit
1 Configure the instrument. For details, see:
–
“Specifying interface settings” on page 12
– “Specifying the timing settings” on page 13
– “Specifying data settings” on page 14
– “Specifying signal and flow control settings” on page 15
– “Selecting a BER pattern” on page 16
– “Defining user programmable patterns” on page 19
2 If this is the first test you are performing today, perform a self-test (see “Step 2:
Performing a self test” on page 7 ).
3 Connect to the circuit under test (see “Step 3: Connecting the instrument to the
circuit” on page 8 ).
4 Start the test (see “Step 4: Starting the test” on page 8 ).
5 Verify that the PATTERN SYNC LED is illuminated.
6 Insert the error (or errors) using the Error Insert action button.
7 Observe the test results, particularly the results in the BERT and the G.821 cate-
gories (see
“Step 5: Viewing test results” on page 9 ).
BER analysis is complete.
Measuring round trip delay
Measuring round trip delay involves selecting the
R-TRIP DELAY
BER pattern, config-
uring the remaining settings for the test, connecting to the circuit, starting the test, and
then viewing test results. When you start the test, the instrument inserts 16 consecutive
bit errors into the transmitted
R-TRIP DELAY
pattern, and then measures the amount
of time (in milliseconds) before 16 consecutive bit errors are detected on the received
R-TRIP DELAY
pattern.
The scenario below provides the basic steps involved; you may need to configure addi-
tional settings for your particular circuit.
