Description
The softkey enables a menu of softkeys which allow error detector data
logging functions to be set up.
NOTE The keys marked with an * cannot be changed when logging.
The softkeys are as follows:
This key configures the Agilent 71612 to become an GP-IB
controller and so allows it to log output to an GP-IB printer. The
address of the printer must be 1. There must not be any external
GP-IB controller connected when this key is selected.
This key configures the Agilent 71612 to log output to an
external GP-IB controller. The Agilent 71612 will SRQ when it
has a line of text to output. The controller can then ask for this
line of text with the LTEXT? command.
Switches logging OFF or ON. When OFF, the logging is totally
suppressed.
Logs the time that the following alarms start and end:
Clock Loss, Data Loss and Sync Loss.
Power Loss and Power Recovery are always logged regardless
of whether the LOG ALARMS key is enabled or not.
Provides the user with the choice of selecting from two sets of
results at the end of the measurement period, they are:
• FULL: Logs Main Results, Interval Results and G.821
Analysis
• USR: Logs the results currently part of the Users Page
(except Delta Error results)
When SQUELCH is ON, logging is inhibited if logging is
triggered for ten consecutive seconds, thus preventing excessive
use of paper. The trigger for logging may be an error second or
the error ratio exceeding a preset threshold. Squelch can be over-
ridden by the LOG ON DEMAND key. Squelch does not effect
end of period logging. Logging is resumed after one trigger free
second.
