:SOURce:DATA:OVERhead:PASSthru:ALL 
This command controls the source of transmitted overhead data in Through Mode. The parameter is a 
numeric value in which each bit enables retransmission of received data for one specific overhead field. 
The bit values are shown under :SOURCE:DATA:OVERHEAD:PASSTHROUGH. The query form returns 
the current setting. 
Syntax :SOURce<slot>:DATA:OVERhead:PASSthru:ALL?  
:SOURce<slot>:DATA:OVERhead:PASSthru:ALL <NR1>
:SOURce:DATA:PARIty:LOOP 
This command enables the local calculation of B1 and B2 parity bits when the transmitter is in Through 
Mode. When this function is enabled, the B1 and B2 bits are calculated from the payload value; when it is 
disabled, the B1 and B2 bits have the values of the received B1 and B2 bits. This setting has no effect 
when the payload is internally generated. The query form returns the current setting. 
Syntax :SOURce<slot>:DATA:PARIty:LOOP?  
:SOURce<slot>:DATA:PARIty:LOOP <Boolean> 
Parameters  Description 
THRU      B1 and B2 bit values are taken from the received signal 
REGEN     B1 and B2 bit values are regenerated from the transmitted data 
FORCE_THRU  B1 and B2 bit values are taken from the received signal, independent of the 
setting of this parameter 
FORCE_REGEN  B1 and B2 bit values are regenerated from the transmitted data, independent of 
the setting of this parameter 
:SOURce:DATA:PATH:OVERhead:PASSthru 
This command controls the source of transmitted path overhead data in Through Mode. The first 
parameter specifies a path overhead data field; the second selects whether that field's data comes from 
the received signal (ON) or is generated by the OTS transmitter (OFF). The query form returns the current 
setting for the specified field. 
Syntax :SOURce<slot>:DATA:PATH:OVERhead:PASSthru? <Enum> 
:SOURce<slot>:DATA:PATH:OVERhead:PASSthru <Enum> ,<Boolean> 
Parameters Description 
C2A    C2 (path label) POH byte (bit value 131,072 in…:ALL command)

G1A    G1 POH byte (bit value 262,144) 
H4A    H4 POH byte (bit value 1,048,576) 
J1A    J1 (path trace) POH byte (bit value 65,536) 
K3A    K3 (Z4) POH byte (bit value 4,194,304) 
N1A    N1 POH byte (bit value 8,388,608) 
PAYload  Payload data (bit value 16,777,216)
