EVENTS AND METER KEYS AND DISPLAY

The EVENTS and METER keys in the DISPLAY area on the front panel are used to select test
results and measured data. Sub-sections 1.2.1 through 1.2.4 describe the kinds of data
provided by pressing these keys (the [SHIFT] key must first be pressed so that its green LED is
lighted):
1.2.1 EVENTS ([SHIFT][1]) Key: This causes the Call Event characters to appear on the first
line of the display (Figure 1-2). The EVENTS LED will also begin flashing (unless
FREEZE has been activated - see 1.5.1). Up to 40 characters may be displayed at one
time, but the display may be scrolled with the
characters.
A flashing digit or event indicates that the event was generated from the Analog Switch
("far end" for PCM). A steady-state display indicates that the event was generated
from the analog Te/Line ("near end" for PCM); see note under 1.2.2 for exceptions.
The second line of the Events Display gives a complete analysis of an event. Position
the cursor on whatever character of the first line you choose by using the
keys. The second line of the display immediately indicates the available data for that
event.
