Overview - Measurement Control

This section gives a brief survey of the CMU's measurement control using the function group RF Non Signalling as an example. This includes a discussion of the different measurement modes and measured quantities. Settings and measurement parameters frequently encountered are explained from a general point of view.

The formal aspects of measurement control are discussed in more detail in section Outline - Remote Control.

The menus of the graphical user interface can be arranged in different ways. According to their tasks, they form the following groups:

• The function groups RF, Audio, GSM-MS, etc. The RF function group is supplied with the firmware for the CMU base system. The function groups for network test applications are optional and described in separate operating manuals.

• The two signalling modes Signalling and Non Signalling. The signalling properties are specific to the individual networks and devices under test. In the function group RF only Non Signalling measurements are provided.

• General configurations (Group Configuration, Connection Control), configurations specific to a measured quantity (Powe Configuration, Spectrum Configuration, etc.), and menus displaying the results of the measurement (Power; Spectrum etc.).

In a more formal sense, the CMU uses measurement menus, popup menus, table menus, and graphical measurement menus and dialog windows of various sizes. This aspect is discussed in the preceding sections.
