BER Analysis (DOCSIS 4.0 Downstream)

This group of parameters relate to measurements that include BER Analysis.

Parameter	Description
BER Analysis	When enabled, bit/packet error rate information is calculated and shown in the BER/MER Summary trace. Default: Enabled BER analysis is not supported for for 8192-QAM and 16384-QAM modulation. When PLC Settings is in Automatic mode, if 8192-QAM or 16384-QAM modulation is detected and BER Analysis radio button is selected (enabled), the VSA software will deselect BER Analysis and continue the measurement with MER only. When PLC Settings is in Manual mode, if 8192-QAM or 16384-QAM modulation is used in a profile, uncheck (disable) the BER Analysis radio button to avoid a warning message and validation process failure.
Pause Measurement After Bit Count	When enabled, the measurement pauses after the specified number of bits. Default: Disabled, 1 GBits This parameter is only available when BER Analysis is enabled.

When enabled, the measurement pauses after the specified number of bits.

Default: Disabled, 1 GBits

This parameter is only available when BER Analysis is enabled.

Enable measurement averaging to accumulate bit counts.
