Chapter 5 BERT Function The analyzer has the function to send a test pattern and the function to compare the received data with the test pat- tern. By a loopback test or a face-to-face test, the quality of the data communication line including the modem etc. can be evaluated and the failure point of the data communication line can be isolated.
Setting of Test Mode The BERT function works in either asynchronous or synchronous communication. First, set the protocol, communica- tion speed, etc. in “Configuration” at the top menu. 2.5 Communication Condition 〇 When testing asynchronous communication Set the protocol “ASYNC”. It is tests at the speed set by “TXD speed”...

When you press [STOP], the test pattern transmission and error rate measurement will end. Depending on the test mode, the measurement will end automatically when the set conditions are met. When the test mode is set to “ ” and several measurements are taken, you can swipe the screen left or Repetitiously right to switch and display the measurement data.
Chapter 6 Useful Functions 6.1 Trigger Function The trigger function is a function that triggers a special measurement process (action) triggered by a spe- cific condition (factor) such as the occurrence of a communication error during measurement operation or reception of specified data. By controlling the timer/counter, it can measure the communication response time and count the number of occurrences of specific events.
Setting Press [MENU] and touch “Trigger” to display the trigger setting display. The [ ] trigger number is valid. If you check more than one, it will be OR condition. You can turn the check mark on/off by touching [ ]or by pressing [SHIFT] + [0] to [3].
□ Line state The condition of the control line and TRG (external trigger input TRG IN) are treated as the trigger condition. Specify the signal logic to detect with 1(H), 0(L), and X(don't care). The state judg- ment of 1 and 0 is as same as the line state display. With the AND condition of all signals, the condition is satisfied when the condition changes from mismatch to match.
Page 91
□ Save data The measurement data before and after the trigger factor match is automatically saved in the storage device as a trigger save file (TG SAVEnn.DT - nn is a serial number from 0 to 99 in the order of saving).
□ Transmit data Specified data is sent after the trigger factor matches. Specify the group number (group 0 to 9) and table number (table 0 to F) of the send data table in which the data you want to send is reg- istered.
6.2 Timer/Counter Function The timer / counter function is used together with the trigger function and program simulation function to measure the elapsed time from a specific condition and the number of occurrences of a specific factor. Timers 0 and 1 are used to measure the time elapsed after a specific factor occurs. Counters 0 and 1 are used to count the number of times a specific factor occurs.
Display of timer / counter value The status of the timer/counter value can be checked by tapping “Timer/Counter” from [ ] even during measurement. Tap “X” on the window to finish the display of timer / counter value. 6.3 Timing Waveform Measurement Function It is possible to measure the timing of change of the communication line with a time resolution of up to 50nsec and display it as a waveform like a logic analyzer do so.
ڦTrigger pass count Set the number of times (0 to 9999) to ignore the trigger pattern match. When it is 0, the trigger will be estab- lished at the first trigger pattern match. ڦTrigger pattern Sets the state of the signal line with which it automatically stops the waveform monitor measurement.

First, move the cursor to the first signal position with [ ], [ ], and touch [ENTER] or “Mark”...
6.4 Auto Configuration Function By using this function at online monitoring, you can automatically determine the communication conditions of the line to be monitored and start the measurement. How to use By touching “Auto configuration” in the [ ] menu, “Analyzing transmission speed...” is displayed and the anal- ysis process of communication condition starts.
*1: For a communication line in which 1 Kbyte of data is transmitted in full duplex at 1 msec. intervals. Only the SD cards sold by LINEEYE (LINEEYE option) are supported. It uses a capacity of 4 bytes for each capture of transmitted/received data.
・ If you set “Restart” or “Max - Stop”, all existing auto save files will be deleted at the start of mea- surement. ・ When saving the measurement log for a long time with the auto save function, set the main unit capture memory to the ring buffer.
Check files by Wi-Fi connection The PC software “LE File Downloader” is available to download files from the storage device of the analyzer to a PC via Wi-Fi connection. Without stopping the measurement, you can download the auto save file of the time of failure to your PC and analyze it in detail by the PC link software.
6.7 Auto Run Function By using this function, you can repeat the measurement automatically for the specified period by specifying the date and time when the measurement starts and ends. It can start the measurement in conjunction with power-on and auto- matically finish the measurement at the specified date and time.
An SD/SDHC card or USB flash drive can be used as a storage device, and measurement data and setting data can be saved to it. Optional SD/SDHC cards (SD-8GX, SD-16GX, SD-32GX, sold by LINEEYE) are available. You can use a USB flash drive, but we do not guarantee the operation of all USB flash drives.
ڦThe file types are as follows. Extension Content Measured data Setting data (including the data tables and simulation programs) The file saved by the auto save function is #nnnnnnn.DT (n is a serial number starting from 0). Displayed as “ ”.
