Selecting and Running a Test
To run a predefined test, select the test from
the list of tests that appears in the drop down
menu in the Master Controls panel in the top
left of the PeRT
3 main application window.
The Master Controls panel also contains a
set of icons which can be used to control the
selected test script.
These button are (from left to right):
• Start (don’t record)
• Start (record results)
• Pause
• Stop
Note: The difference between Start (don’t record) and Start (record
results) is that while running (but not recording results) the system
allows the user to change any of the signal or jitter settings while a
test is running. This is useful during initial test development to
quickly determine how the device under test behaves under different
conditions. If results are being recorded, the user may not change
test settings without first stopping the test.
Once the test is selected, the test can be started by clicking the Start (record results)
button in the Master Controls panel.
Once the test is running, the Pause and Stop buttons will become active, and can be
used to pause or stop the test respectively. The indicators to the immediate right of these
buttons (marked "1", "2", "3", and "4") refer to the four channels which can be tested
simultaneously. If a channel is active, the indicator corresponding to that channel will be
lit. In addition, a summary of error results is provided for each channel in the status
screen in the center of the Master Controls panel.
