Channel status is displayed locally with leds
located on the front panel. Decommutated data, frame and subframe
status, word and frame number (with timing markers), is also provided in
parallel word form on the unit rear panel.
Six counters accumulate Data Quality
information. These counters are activated on command and can be
simultaniously reset.
- # of frames in Minor Frame Check or Lock
(valid frames).
- # of Minor Frames received with complemented
synchronization patterns (inverted data).
- # of frames in Minor Frame lock with
unacceptable synchronization patterns (flywheel frames).
- # of Minor Frames with a bit slip detected.
- # of Minor Frame Lock to Search transitions
(dropouts).
- # of Minor Frames received while in Major
Frame(Subframe) Lock (valid Major Frame).
All functions are controlled through either the
local front panel display and keypad, or an IEEE-488 (RS232 is optional)
remote control port. Virtual Instrument (VI) software is provided to
allow the user to control the unit in a Windows point and click
environment. The software provides a single-screen display of all
statistics and status for all channels.
