Keyboard and Display Conventions

The conventions used in this manual to illustrate instrument keys and display

information are as follows:

This is an example of a hardkey. Hardkeys (located to the right of the display) are

used to give access to different sets of instrument settings, or select dedicated

instrument functions. The key shown here displays the transmit settings.

This is an example of a softkey. Softkeys (located below the display) are used to

select instrument settings. The values associated with softkeys change as you move

the display cursor from one instrument setting to another.

These are the cursor control keys. They are used to move the display cursor from

one instrument setting to another.

This is an example of a pop-up menu. Pop-up menus are an alternative way of

selecting instrument settings (instead of using softkeys). To access a pop-up menu,

highlight an instrument setting, then use the key to complete the selection.

This symbol (when it appears next to settings on the display) indicates that there is a

pop-up menu associated with the instrument setting. To access a pop-up menu,

highlight the instrument setting which has this symbol, then use the key.

This symbol appears at the bottom right of the display when an optical transmit

module is fitted to the instrument. The symbol’s background changes from black to

yellow when the optical output is switched on.

Introduction

Agilent’s OmniBER Communications Performance Analyzer provides the test

capability you need to verify the performance of today’s high-capacity transmission

systems and networks.

The main features of this instrument are:

• Framed and unframed SDH/SONET BER testing up to 2.5 Gb/s (STM-16/OC-

48) with J1408

• The addition of Jitter testing with J1409A.

• Optical and electrical interfaces.

• Seperate clock and data binary interfaces, electrically coded at 52Mb/s,

155Mb/s, 625Mb/s and 2.5Gb/s.

• Concatenated payload testing up to STM-16c/OC-48c.

• Measurement capabilities including protection switching tests, and pointer

processing.

• Fast access to key measurement tasks using Agilent’s Smart Test capability.

Monitoring Status Alarms

The LED indicators provide information about the current status of the instrument’s

receiver. If an alarm has occurred during the current test period, the HISTORY

indicator lights up. The figure below shows the status indicators for the dual

standard SDH/SONET option (Option 002).

These three indicators change

from green to red when an alarm

conditions occurs.

Press and hold this key to view the alarm history. When this key is

released the status indicators return to displaying the current status.

The HISTORY indicator lights when an alarm has occurred during

the current test period.

SHOW

Press this key to reset the HISTORY store (all lit indicators

extinguish). If an alarm condition is present during the reset, then

the indicators associated with that alarm will remain lit after the

reset. The resetting of the HISTORY store also occurs when you

start a new test period.

RESET

The PDH, DSn and ATM Alarm

Indicators are not used by the

Omniber 725.
