Setting Test Control Parameters
This section describes how to set the duration for a test, the
resolution of the test history, how to start and stop a test, and how to
calibrate the instrument for jitter tests. It also lists parameters that
cannot be adjusted during a test and other actions that cannot be
performed while a test is running.
CTS850 SDH/PDH Test Set
Setting the Test Time Duration
Before running a test, you must specify how long the test will run.
The default test duration is continuous, which means a test runs until
you stop it with the START/STOP button.
NOTE. Most jitter tests run for a fixed duration. You do not need to
set test duration for jitter tests.
To set the duration of a test:

button is pressed. If you select Continuous, the CTS850

Setting Test Control Parameters
accumulates measurements from the time you start the test until
the time you stop the test.
Once the test duration is set, any time a test is started it will run for
the time specified on the Test Duration line.
NOTE. If an instrument setup or pass/fail test is recalled from memory
or disk, it overwrites the test duration specified on the TEST TIME
page.

Choice Range Increment
Day 0 to 99 1
Hour 0 to 23 1
Minute 0 to 59 1
Second 0 to 59 1
NOTE. Although a test can be set to run up to 99 days, 23 hours, 59
minutes, and 59 seconds, only results from a limited period are saved
in memory. The period of test results saved is determined by the
History Resolution setting.
Setting the History Resolution
The history of test results can be recorded at three resolutions, either
1 second, 1 minute, or 15 minutes. At 1-second resolution, 2 hours of
test results can be recorded. At 1-minute resolution, 5 days of test
results can be recorded. At 15-minute resolution, 75 days of test
results can be recorded.

Starting and Stopping a Test
To start or stop a test:
H Press START/STOP.
When a test starts, the light next to the START/STOP button turns on
and the status line displays the message, Running.
NOTE. Pressing START/STOP while a test is running stops the test
immediately, even if the test time has not expired.
While a test is running, the status line shows the elapsed time since
the test began. If a limited test duration has been set (any setting
other than Continuous), a bar graph indicates the current percentage
of test completion. Elapsed time is also shown within the body of the
Results menu, under the Test Started line. Figure 3 14 shows the
locations of the elapsed time indicator and bar graph.

Making Changes While Running a Test
If you change instrument receive settings while a test is running, the
test is restarted. Error counts are cleared and the test begins again
using the new settings. You can change transmitter settings while a
test is running without restarting the test.
Actions You Cannot Perform While Running a Test
There are actions you cannot perform while a test is running (see
Table 3 3). You cannot recall instrument settings, pass/fail tests, or
results and you cannot save results while a test is running. If you try
to perform a recall while a test is running, you are warned that a
recall is not allowed while a test is running.
