5 After you finish populating the custom category with
results (or modifying the results), press Save to store the
category and return to the Main screen.
The Custom result group is populated.
You can use the Delete button on the result pane (on the Main
screen) to delete a group at any time.
Running multiple tests
You can significantly reduce your testing time by testing over
multiple circuits simultaneously.
For example, you can transmit traffic from the DS1 and DS3
interfaces to a network element, and then loop the traffic back
to your unit to analyze the signals and verify that the network
element is operating properly.
When running multiple tests, you should power your instru-
ment using the AC adapter that shipped with the instrument.
If the instrument loses power while running multiple tests,
when you restore power, the instrument will only restore the
last active test application.
Restrictions Certain applications require more system resources; there-
fore, your instrument may not be able to run more than one
application simultaneously, or you may need to consider the
temperature before running the tests. Multiple tests can only
be done on the 5802, 5812, 5802P or 5812P instruments.
NOTE: Protecting Custom Result Groups
When you protect a saved test configuration by making it
read-only, the associated custom result group is also saved
and is protected.
