Data Logging
Logging During Gating
The events (triggers) which cause logging during gating are:
• On an errored second.
• On the error ratio exceeding a preset trigger threshold.
NOTE The two triggers listed above are mutually exclusive and cannot be
changed while the softkey is set to .
Logging Trigger Threshold
The logging trigger threshold is compared against one second error ratio values to
determine when results are logged. The range of the trigger threshold is 1.0 to 1.0E−20
inclusive.
Results Logged During Gating
• Error Count for the last second.
• Error Ratio for the last second.
Each set of results is stamped with the date and time of day.
To Log Results During Gating
The following procedure explains how to configure an Agilent 71612 error performance
analyzer system to log results during the gating period whenever the error ratio is
>1.0E-07. Results are logged to an GP-IB printer.
Procedure
1. Press the hardkey.
2. Set the softkey to .
3. Switch ON the softkey (the softkey is underlined when ON).
4. Select , then .
5. Press . Enter the desired trigger threshold using the numeric
keypad then press . To set a 1.00E−07 threshold, enter 1.00 using the keypad,
press the softkey, enter 07 and press .
6. Set the softkey to .
The system is now configured to log results during gating whenever the error ratio is
>1.00E−07.
