Impulse Noise Histogram
Impulse Noise Histogram
The wideband impulse noise histogram test displays a plot of the impulse 
noise spikes over a user-defined time period.
Test Setup
The Test Setup tab allows you to configure parameters for the wideband 
impulse noise histogram test.
Each parameter on the pane is 
described below.
³
Termination defines if the unit 
uses normal test impedance 
termination or high bridging 
impedance when the cable is 
active or terminated by other 
external equipment. For normal 
test termination select 
TERMINATED, otherwise select BRIDGING.
³
Termination Impedance defines the impedance of the dummy load 
connected to the line. Select either 100 or 135 Ohm.
³
Noise Filter defines the level of wideband noise filtering. The available 
choices are: NONE, 15 kHz, 50 kbit, ISDN-E, HDSL-F, ADSL-G, ADSL, 
ADSL2+, VDSL, VDSL2-8, VDSL2-12, VDSL2-17, or VDSL2-30.
Note: VDSL2-x filters are only available if VDSL2WB is enabled in the software
options.
³
Threshold(dBm) is the maximum impulse noise level. Specify a value 
between -50 and 0 (-40 and 0 if any filter applied).
