Data (Normal 32QAM Burst)

To open the Data node, click Data in the tree view. The figure below shows the Data node.

The timeslots shown below are set to show available timeslot types, not to show a typical test configuration.

Change Data Values Button

Click to display a drop-down menu in which you can copy a timeslot configuration from one timeslot to another.

Data Node Parameters

Use the Data window to define the bits in the bursts. The cells displayed in the Data section are determined by the burst type (Timeslot Type) for the selected timeslot as defined in the Timeslots window. In the window shown above, Timeslot 7 is selected so the data cells provided are for setting up a Normal 32QAM Burst.

Normal 32QAM Burst Bits

Tail Bits 1 (15 bits)

Default: X"F79CE"

Click the Details button in this cell to open the Data Source Selection window. Enter 12 bits to use in the first of the two tail bit segments of the normal 16QAM burst. See Closeddrop-down figure. 

Import

Click Import to open a dialog box in which you can navigate to and import a pre-defined pattern file. The imported file automatically updates the user data entry area. The software accepts the following file types:

The maximum file size is 65536 bits. If the imported file is larger than 65536 bits, the software truncates the bits to conform to the maximum file size.

Export

Click Export to open a dialog box in which you can save the current data pattern to a file. You can save the data pattern as one of the following file types:

Clear

Click Clear to clear all data displayed in the user data entry area.

Insert PN9

Click Insert PN9 to insert a fixed psuedo-random bit sequence (pattern) containing 511 bits (29-1) into the user data entry area. The software generates this fixed pattern in accordance with the CCITT recommendation 0.153. You can click this button repeatedly to add additional PN9 sequences until the maximum file size is reached (65536 bits). If the maximum file size is exceeded, the software truncates the excess data. 

To edit the existing data pattern after reaching the maximum file size, insert the cursor at the desired point in the file and press Insert PN9 or use the keyboard 1 and 0 keys. The software inserts the data at the cursor position and truncates data in excess of 65536 bits.

Insert PN15

Click Insert PN15 to insert a fixed pattern psuedo-random bit sequence containing 32,767 bits (215-1) into the user data entry area. The software generates this fixed pattern in accordance with the CCITT recommendation O.153.

To edit the data pattern, insert the cursor at the desired point in the file and click Insert PN15, or enter the information manually using the keyboard keys 1 and 0. The software inserts the data at the cursor position and truncates all data in excess of 65536 bits.

Encrypted Bits (290+ 290 bits)

Default: PN9

Click the Details button in this cell to open the ClosedData Source Selection window.

Select PN9, PN15 or User Defined Bits to use for the encrypted bits.

Select User Defined Bits, to create an encrypted data string. (See the Closeddrop-down figure.)

The buttons in this window are described in Marker Source Selection.

Training Sequence Bits (130 bits)

Choice: TSC0 to TSC7 | User Defined Bits

Default: TSC0

Select TSC0 to TSC7 or User Defined Bits to use for the training sequence bits.

Click the Details button in this cell to open the ClosedData Source Selection window.

If you have selected 32QAM All Timeslots Normal from the Configuration dropdown list, the default training sequence corresponds to the timeslot number. For example, the default for timeslot 0 is TSC0, the default for timeslot 1 is TSC1, and so on.

If you manually change a timeslot to a Normal 32QAM Burst, the training sequence for that timeslot is automatically set to TSC0.

The training sequences are defined as follows:

TSC0

0 0090 0120 4A52 0000 0900 0090 0120 4A52

TSC1

0 0099 2520 4A52 04A5 2A00 0090 2520 4A52

TSC2

0 1200 0009 4A40 94A4 0900 1200 0009 4A40

TSC3

0 1200 0129 4A40 9481 2000 1200 0129 4A40

TSC4

0 0004 A409 0252 9001 2000 0004 A409 0252

TSC5

0 1200 2529 0240 9480 0000 1200 2529 0240

TSC6

2 4090 0129 4A52 04A4 0002 4090 0129 4A52

TSC7

2 5290 2529 4800 0480 0902 5290 2529 4800

Select User Defined Bits to define custom training sequence bits. See the Closeddrop-down figure.

The buttons in this window are described in Marker Source Selection.

Tail Bits 2 (15 bits)

Default: X"79CE"

Click the Details button in this cell to open the ClosedData Source Selection window. Enter 15 bits to use in the second of the two tail bit segments of the normal 32QAM burst.

The buttons in this window are described in Marker Source Selection.

Guard Period (45 bits)

Click the Details button in this cell to open the ClosedData Source Selection window.

The buttons in this window are described in Marker Source Selection.

When the Timeslot Timing Mode is set to 157 symbols x 2 timeslots, 156 symbols x 6 timeslots, the Guard Period is defined as follows:

When the Timeslot Timing Mode is set to 156.25 symbols x 8 timeslots, the Guard Period is defined as follows:
