Quick Config tab appears under the Message Bar, with key
settings required to configure your test. For example, if you
selected the SONET -> OC-192 -> OC-192c Bulk BERT - >
Terminate application, quick configuration settings appear
that allow you to automatically detect and insert a BERT
pattern. See Figure 9.
Signal
Structure

Signal Structure tab appears to the right of the Quick Config
tab. When selected, the Tx side shows the structure of the
signal sent out by the test set, and the Rx side shows the
structure of the signal that the test set is configured to receive.
Figure 10 illustrates the signal structure when you transmit a
Bulk BERT payload in an STS-48c signal
LED Panel The LEDs in the panel to the left of the Results Windows help
you determine whether a signal is present, pattern synchroni-
zation has been achieved, and other key events when
performing tests.
