This book tells you how to select the features that you want to use for your test.

The selections available are presented in the following groups:

• Transmit and receive interfaces

• Test features, for example, the addition of errors and alarms to the test signal

• Measurements including test timing

• Storing, logging and printing results with general printer information

• Using instrument and disk storage

• Using the “OTHER” features.

The selections available will depend on the options fitted to your instrument. The

examples given in this book cover all options and therefore may include selections

which are not available on your instrument.
