SETup:SBERror:CLSDelay[:STIMe]

Function

GSM TA

This command is not applicable to GSM.

GSM/GPRS LA

This command is not applicable to the GSM/GPRS lab application.

GPRS TA

This command is not applicable to GPRS.

EGPRS LA

Selects/queries the closed loop signalling delay time in seconds for EGPRS SRB Bit Error measurements and sets the delay state to ON. The units (S|MS) are optional, if no units are specified than units default to S.

The delay time defines how long the test set should wait before starting an SBER measurement. The downlink signalling operation must be completed and the test set must send a close loop command to the mobile station before the measurement can begin. The delay time allows time for the loop to close.

When a close loop message is set to the mobile station the closed loop signalling delay time will hold off the SBER measurement from starting for the specified time period.

EGPRS LA

Selects/queries the closed loop signalling delay state for EGPRS SRB Bit Error measurements. If the state is off the test set will not wait to start a SBER measurement after a downlink signalling operation has completed.

The delay time defines how long the test set should wait before starting and SBER measurement after a downlink signalling operation has completed and after the test set has sent a close loop command to the mobile station.

When a close loop message is set to the mobile station the closed loop signalling delay time will hold off the SBER measurement from starting for the specified time period.

EGPRS LA

Sets/queries the number of bits to test. This is the number of information bits to test. Information bits exclude stealing flags and midamble bits.

Due to the burst structure, the number of bits actually tested can be larger. The actual number of bits tested is available as a measurement result. See FETCh:SBERror:COUNt?

EGPRS LA

Sets/queries loopback delay control mode. If loopback delay control mode is automatic (Auto), the test set will determine the loopback delay value that will allow correlation between uplink information bits with downlink information bits.

If loopback delay control mode is manual (not Auto), the test set will use the loopback delay value entered in the Loopback Delay field. Refer to. see SETup:SBERror:MANual:DELay

Refer also to the ` Bit Error Measurement for a description of loopback delay and its use in the EGPRS SRB BER measurement.

Sets/queries the number of bursts the test set will wait before correlating uplink bursts received with downlink bursts sent when loop delay control mode is manual (AUTO OFF). To set the delay mode to manual, refer to SETup:SBERror:LDControl:AUTO .

This value is displayed in the Loopback Delay field when Auto is not displayed. (If you want to display this value and Auto is currently displayed, press the front-panel key labeled OFF ).
