E-DPDCH Configuration Summary Table

This section defines the Settings Current and Apply Needed buttons. Only one button is available at any time. These buttons are available in all of the W-CDMA/HSPA+ Uplink's tree nodes.

This button indicates that the current real-time settings have been applied to the instrument. No action is required.

This button indicates that the instrument settings are not current and need to be updated to be applied to the instrument. Click this button to update the instrument's settings.

Edit the Data of the uplink E-DPDCH by clicking on the cell. Then click on the dialog box icon to launch the ClosedData dialog box. When E-DCH is selected, this applies the defined data in the E-DCH data and to the E-DCH coding.

When loading a user file through the software's Data dialog box, the MXG/EXG requires an ASCII text file consisting of 1s and 0s. When using SCPI commands, all instruments require a binary data file.

E-DCH

This choice selects the transport channel as the data source.

Custom Pattern

Sets the E-DPDCH data pattern to Custom Pattern. The value of this command is a string which is represented ‘0’ or ‘1’. The maximum data length is 81,920 patterns.

"<filename>"

This variable represents a data pattern file stored in instrument memory. The data pattern must contain at least one bit or the Play function will not work .
