Running multiple tests

5 After you finish populating the custom category with

results (or modifying the results), press Save to store the

category and return to the Main screen.

The Custom result group is populated.

You can use the Delete button on the result pane (on the Main

screen) to delete a group at any time.

NOTE: Protecting Custom Result Groups

When you protect a saved test configuration by making it

read-only, the associated custom result group is also saved

and is protected.

You can significantly reduce your testing time by testing over

multiple circuits simultaneously.

For example, you can transmit traffic from the DS1 and DS3

interfaces to a network element, and then loop the traffic back

to your unit to analyze the signals and verify that the network

element is operating properly.

When running multiple tests, you should power your instru-

ment using the AC adapter that shipped with the instrument.

If the instrument loses power while running multiple tests,

when you restore power, the instrument will only restore the

last active test application.

Certain applications require more system resources; there-

fore, your instrument may not be able to run more than one

application simultaneously, or you may need to consider the

temperature before running the tests. Multiple tests can only

be done on the 5802, 5812, 5802P or 5812P instruments.
