CTS 710 SONET Test Set User Manual
NOTE. A pass/fail test can only be saved on disk. It cannot be saved
in memory.
H Description. An optional, 24-character field that describes the
test.
H Operator Start Prompt. An optional, 72-character field that is
displayed at the beginning of the test. You can use the operator
start prompt to provide instruction to the operator prior to the
beginning of the test.
H Test Duration. A required parameter that sets the length of the
test.
H Fail If conditions. The specific conditions that define whether a
test has failed.
H Operator End Prompt. An optional, 72-character field that is
displayed at the end of the test. You can use the operator end
prompt to provide instruction to the operator after the test is
completed.
H On Test Completion. A required parameter that defines the action
to be taken when a test completes.
Fail If Conditions
A Fail If condition is what determines if a test passes or fails. There
are three elements to a Fail If condition: condition type, specific
condition, and threshold (see Table 3–4).
The condition type describes the general condition that indicates a
test has failed. For each condition type (except None), there is list of
specific conditions and thresholds used to determine when a test
fails. None indicates that no condition type has been assigned.
The specific condition describes the type of failure used to determine
when a test fails. The specific conditions that define a failure depend
on the condition type (see Table 3–4).
The threshold is the level at which a test fails (see Table 3–4). For
example, for the condition types Alarm and Failure, the threshold for
any specific condition is Detected or Not Detected.
