Programming a Bit Error Measurement
February 14, 2000
This section provides an example of how to make the bit error (BER) measurement via GPIB.
The following procedure assumes that an active link is established between the test set and the mobile station.
See "Establishing an Active Link with the Mobile Station" on page 28.
1. Set the cell power to a good level.
2. Configure BER measurement parameters using the SETup subsystem.
3. Set the measurement type (either residual Type IA, Type IB, Type II, or non-residual Type IA, Type IB,
Type II).
4. Set the cell power to a low level for BER measurement.
5. Use the INITiate command to begin a BER measurement.
6. Use the INITiate:DONE? command to find out if the BER measurement results are available.
7. Use the FETCh? command to obtain BER measurement results.
8. Set the cell power to a good level
