Measurement Toggle OVERVIEW: Start a measurement by selecting START at the
Measurement field. The RTAU will wait for pattern sync and
frame sync for framed patterns before starting the measurement.
After synching, the measurement display will change to
RUNNING. Stop any measurement by selecting STOP. Refer to
Figure 570-15 for an RTAU Config screen showing a test that is
starting.
Note: If the Mode is set to MONE, MONF, LOOPE, or LOOPF,
only frame sync is required before starting the measurement. If the
pattern is not in sync, then the Data Error Counts will read “N/A”
until pattern sync is established.

Measurement field had been set to STOP.
