Function Reference
Bit Error Rate Measurement Function

hpe5022_BER_sectorErrorCountEx_Q

C Syntax ViStatus hpe5022_BER_sectorErrorCountEx_Q(ViSession id, ViInt32 err[],
ViInt32 burst[], ViInt32 lost[]);
Visual Basic hpe5022_BER_sectorErrorCountEx_Q(ByVal id As Long, ByRef err As Long,
Syntax ByRef burst As Long, ByRef lost As Long) As Long
Description This function returns the total count of error symbol, burst error, and lost sectors
for each sector. The "hpe5022_BER_measureBer" or "hpe5022_BER_setupBer"
function must be executed before this function is performed. The logging mode of
the "hpe5022_BER_berDataLoggingMode" function must be set to "VI_TRUE".
Parameters • id
• err
• burst
• lost
164
Description Specifies the system identifier. This is given by the
"hpe5022_init" function.
Direction IN
Description Returns the total of number of error symbol for each sector.
The returned data is in array form. The
"hpe5022_BER_sector ErrorCountSize_Q" function returns
the size of array. Sector number begins at 0. The err [0]
represents the number of errors for sector no. 0. Err[n] is the
number of errors that corresponds to a particular sector no. n.
Direction OUT
Unit Byte
Description Returns the number of burst error array. If an E5039A/B is
used as the BER module, contents of this array are all 0.
Direction OUT
Description Returns the number of lost sectors. The returned data is in
array. The "hpe5022_BER_sectorErrorCountSize_Q"
function returns the size of array. The lost[0] represents the
lost sector 0. The lost[n] represents the number of lost sector
[n].
Direction OUT
