Possible Setup Issues

During remote operation of the bit error measurement the user should configure the trigger arm to single, see
"SETup:BERRor:CONTinuous" on page 387.
Failure to set trigger arm to single may result in the measurement never giving a result. When trigger arm is
continuous the measurement rearms itself and starts another measurement cycle, during remote operation
the fetch query may not be synchronized to the measurement cycle, see
"Measurement States" on page 150.
If you have a BER measurement active and your mobile drops the call it may be that you have the
"SETup:BERRor:SLControl" on page 389 command set to OFF. This is likely to occur with mobiles that do not
respond to downlink signalling when loopback is closed. To solve this problem set the command to ON.
