SETUP AREA
The Setup area on the front panel controls the programming of the AM8a unit for all test
procedures. It is here that required parameters are set for configuration, emulation, analysis
and auto dialing functions. Each of these areas are briefly described below, and specific
information on all the parameters that are available in each Setup category is shown in Section
2, 3, 4, and 5.
1.3.1 CONFIG'N ([SHIFT][5]) Key: When selected, the menus identified by "CONFIG" are

1.3.2 EMULATE ([SHIFT][6]) Key: When selected, the menus identified by "EMULATE" are
presented. This mode allows access to parameters that control timing of AM8a
generated events. Settings for voltage, frequency and timing are to be made here, as
well as for impedance, ringing voltage, dial tone and dial pulse, recall (flash and
unbalance), and tone dialing.
1.3.3 ANALYZE ([SHIFT][7]) Key: When selected, the menus identified by "ANALYZE" are
selected. These parameters are used to instruct the AM8a on how to interpret events
the events it encounters. It is also used to set thresholds for flagging and printing
