CTS 710 SONET Test Set User Manual
F–1
Appendix F: Example Disk Contents
This manual ships with a disk containing files that you can load into
your CTS 710. The files are examples of instrument setups, test
results and pass/fail tests. The files contained on the disk are
described in the following paragraphs.
Instrument Setups
The STRESS file is an instrument setup file. The file sets up the
CTS 710 to generate an STS-1 signal that contains alarms, errors and
pointer movements. The STRESS file is an example of how the
CTS 710 can save you time by storing instrument setups on disk for
later recall.
Test Results
The ONEDAY file is a test results file. It contains one day (24 hours)
of test results. Recall the file from the RECALL RESULTS page of
the RESULTS menu. You can view the test results on the MAIN
RESULTS and ERROR ANALYSIS pages of the RESULTS menu.
You can view a graph of the test results on the HISTORY GRAPHS
page of the RESULTS menu. The HISTORY GRAPHS page shows
when alarms, errors and pointer movements occurred.
Pass/Fail Tests
The DEMO_10S file is a pass/fail test that runs for just 10 seconds.
To make the test fail, press the INSERT ERROR button on the front
panel. To run the test, connect an electrical cable between the
TRANSMIT and RECEIVE connectors on the front panel and then
recall the test from the RECALL PASS/FAIL TESTS page of the
TEST SETUPS menu. You can see how the test was set up by
viewing the test parameters on the SAVE PASS/FAIL TESTS page of
the TEST SETUPS menu after you recall the test.
