Scheduling timed tests
When you setup a test, you can indicate that the test should
run for a specific period of time (Timed Tests), or you can
schedule tests to begin at a specific time (Delayed-start Timed
Test).
To schedule a timed test
1 Using the Test menu, select a test application (see “Step
1: Selecting a test application” on page 48).
2 Select the Setup button.
A setup screen with a series of tabs appears.
3 Select the Timed Test tab, and then select one of the
following test types:
– Timed Test. If you want the test to start immediately
and run for a specific interval of time, select Timed
Test, and then specify the duration for the test in the
corresponding fields.
– Delayed-start Timed Test. If you want the test to start
at a specific time, and then run for a specific interval of
time, select Delayed-start Timed Test, specify the
duration for the test, and then specify the date and
time you want the test to begin in the corresponding
fields.
4 Specify the timed test duration in the fields provided.
The test duration is specified.
NOTE: J-Connect
Do not run timed tests when using J-Connect to detect
other JDSU test instruments on a subnet. For details, see
the Ethernet, IP, and TCP/UDP Testing Manual that
shipped with your instrument or upgrade.
