Manual measurement mode
Table 1 summarizes the manual measurements. Manual measure-
ments can be classified broadly as follows: voice channel, word test,
alarm simulation, error measurement, signalling measurement, jitter
measurement, and order wire.
Voice channel measurement
Manual measurement is used when varying the parameters more
finely than in automatic measurement or when no measurement can
be made in automatic measuring sequences, as in end-to-end mea-
surement. Manual measurement is also suited to observing changes
in results over time.
Word test
Voice channel, frame, non-frame, and multiframe words can be ma-
nipulated or monitored. Thus, spare bits included in the multiframe
and non-frame can be functionally tested and defined and by the cir-
cuit user. The drop insert function of the voice channel can also be
tested.
Alarm simulation
Frame, multiframe, or signal loss pseudo-errors can be inserted into
the signal by the MS371A/A1 to test the alarm response of the equip-
ment.
Error measurement
Per-channel (64 kbit/s) bit errors can be measured. Bit, line code, and
frame word errors at 2 Mbit/s can also be measured. The error rate,
error second, and % error-free second of these errors can then be
automatically calculated.
Jitter measurement
In the digital signal generator, jitter can be generated at 2 Mbit/s inter-
face and the digital signal analyzer can measure the jitter in a received
signal. Combined use of jitter generation and error measuring func-
tions enables measurement of jitter immunity.
Order wire
The front panel of the MS371A/A1 has a phone jack. Connection of a
handset permits use of the circuit to be measured as an order wire.
