Table 8-2. Transmit Specification Control Buttons
Control Button Transmit Specification Function
Load Module Loads the current resource with the currently defined Transmit Specifi-
cation. Be sure to use the Load Module button to load the specifica-
tion to the resource before you begin transmission.
Open Specs... Opens a previously saved Transmit Specification. A dialog box
appears to specify the name and location of the Transmit Specifica-
tion.
Save Specs… Saves the currently defined Transmit Specification to a file. A dialog
box appears to specify the name and location of the Transmit Specifi-
cation.
Template… Shows menus that list the currently defined templates for packets.
Selecting a template places the values of the template in the fields of
the Transmit Specification dialog box. You can then change the val-
ues of the fields in the Transmit Specification dialog box or use the
Edit Data… button to create exactly the packet you wish.
Cancel Exit the Transmit Specification dialog box. Make sure you have
added/modified all streams, saved new Transmit Specifications, and
loaded the resource before pressing Cancel.

Check the Bursts box Repeats frames of a stream with a specific timing set between the
frames. The special timing is set in the Burst Gap field, the number of
repetitions in the Burst Count field.
Repeat Streams Repeats the stream n times. The gap between frames is set by the
Stream Mode as a packet gap, frame rate, or traffic rate.
Set the Transmission
Mode
You can set the module to loop through the entire Transmit Specifica-
tion
n number of times. Streams are repeated in the specification from
first to last until you stop the module or all streams are transmitted n
times.
