multiple tests
To run multiple tests
1 Verify that your instrument is powered using the adapter
that shipped with it.
2 Start the first test by doing the following:
a Using the Test menu, select a test application see
“Step 1: Selecting a test application” on page 48).
b Configure the test (see “Step 2: Configuring a test” on
page 48).
c Connect the instrument to the circuit (refer to your
instrument’s Getting Started Manual).
d Start the test (see “Step 4: Starting the test” on
page 52).
3 To run a second test, do the following:
a Select Test > Add Test.
A a menu appears listing the rates still available for
testing. These rates will vary depending on the rates
you are already testing, and on the remaining
resources available on your unit.
For example, if you are currently running a DS1 test on
port 1, the DS1 rate is disabled for port 1 because the
port is already used.
b Select an application, and then configure the test,
connect to the circuit, and start the test.
You are running multiple tests.
Two tabs appear on the menu bar of the Main screen (as
shown in Figure 25), one for each test.
