SETup:CFERror

Function

The setting form of this command performs two functions: (1) sets the FER (frame error rate) measurement's confidence level, and (2) sets the FER measurement's confidence level state to 1 (on).

The query form of this command returns the FER measurement's confidence level setting.

See FER Measurement Parameters .

Setting

Range: 80 to 99.99 percent

Resolution: 0.01 percent

Query

same as setting

*RST Setting

95 percent, on

Programming Example

 
OUTPUT 714;"SETUP:CFERROR:CONFIDENCE 95"

 
!sets the FER confidence level to 95 percent

Function

Sets/queries whether the confidence level will be used during FER measurement.

See FER Measurement Parameters .

Setting

Range: 1|ON|0|OFF

Query

Range: 1|0

*RST Setting

1 (on)

Programming Example

 
OUTPUT 714;"SETUP:CFERROR:CONFIDENCE:STATE ON"

Function

Sets/queries the FER (frame error rate) measurement's confidence level to be used when the confidence level state is set to on.

See FER Measurement Parameters .

Setting

Range: 80 to 99.99 percent

Query

Range: 80 to 99.99 percent

*RST Setting

Programming Example

 
OUTPUT 714;"SETUP:CFERROR:CONFIDENCE:LEVEL 95"

 
!Sets the confidence level to 95%.

Function

Sets/queries the FER (frame error rate) measurement's FER requirement. This value specifies the percentage of frame errors used in determining confidence limit pass/fail results.

See FER Measurement Parameters .

Setting

Range: 0.10 to 30.0 percent

Query

Range: 0.10 to 30.0 percent

*RST Setting

Requirements

Test Application Revision: B.08 and above: Setting/query range is changed from the range of 0.1% to 15% to the range of 0.1% to 30%
Lab Application Revision: B.02 and above: Setting/query range is changed from the range of 0.1% to 15% to the range of 0.1% to 30%

Programming Example

 
OUTPUT 714;"SETUP:CFERROR:CONFIDENCE:REQUIREMENT 2" 

 
!sets the confidence limit requirement to 2%.

Function

Sets/queries the trigger arm state for the FER (frame error rate) measurement. The trigger arm state determines whether the waveform quality measurement will be made once then stop (0|OFF (single)), or automatically rearm upon completion of one measurement and repeat the process (1|ON (continuous)).

Setting

Range: 1|ON|0|OFF

Query

Range: 1|0

*RST Setting

0 (off)

Programming Example

 
OUTPUT 714;"SETUP:CFERROR:CONTINUOUS OFF" 
!Sets the FER measurement to single trigger mode.

Function

Sets/queries the maximum number of frames to be tested during FER measurements.

See FER Measurement Parameters .

Setting

Range: 25 to 10,000,000

Query

Range: 25 to 10,000,000

*RST Setting

Programming Example

 
OUTPUT 714;"SETUP:CFERror:COUNT 10000" 
!sets the maximum frames to be tested to 10000.

Function

Sets/queries the minimum number of frames to be tested before applying the confidence algorithm when the confidence level state is on.

See FER Measurement Parameters .

Setting

Range: 0 to 10,000,000

Query

Range: 0 to 10,000,000

*RST Setting

Requirements

Test Application Revision: B.08 and above
Lab Application Revision: B.02 and above

Programming Example

 
OUTPUT 714;"SETup:CFERror:COUNt:MINimum 200"
!sets the minimum frames to be tested to 200.

Function

Sets/queries the Eb/Nt limit that must not be exceeded for a Eb/Nt Pass result ( FETCh:CFERror:EBNTotal:FAIL? ) to be returned. It applies only when the FPC mode 000 is enabled on the test set using the CALL[:CELL]:FPControl[:NORMal]:MODE .

See FER Measurement Parameters .

Setting

Range: -30.00 to 42.00 dB

Resolution: 0.01

Query

same as setting

*RST Setting

Requirements

Programming Example

 
OUTPUT 714;"SETup:CFERror:EBNTotal 7" 
!sets the Eb/Nt limit to 7 dB.

Function

Setting

Range: 0 to 15

Resolution: 1

Query

same as setting

*RST Setting

Requirements

Programming Example

 
OUTPUT 714;"SETup:CFERror:PCGIndex1 7" 
!sets the FER Meas First PCG Index to 7.

Function

Requirements

Programming Example

 
OUTPUT 714;"SETup:CFERror:PCGIndex2 7" 
!sets the FER Meas Second PCG Index to 7.

Function

The setting form of this command performs two functions: (1) sets the FER (frame error rate) measurement's timeout value, and (2) sets the FER measurement's timeout STATe to 1 (on).

The query form returns the FER measurement's timeout value.

Setting

Range: 1 to 200,000 seconds

Resolution: 1 second

Query

Range: 1 to 200,000
