Remote Debug Mode (Background)

Remote Debug Mode: Background

The remote debug mode is activated in the Remote tab of the Setup menu; see above. In this mode, the MMI can be used to visualize, monitor, or check the results of measurements controlled via the remote interface. To make this possible, the properties of the generators, measurements, and signalling are changed as follows:

Parameter	Manual control	Remote debug mode
Measurements	Started automatically when the menu is opened. Aborted on leaving the menu in order to free the resources. Only measurements in a common menu can be running at the same time.	Measurement state as defined in the remote control script; it is not changed on switching from remote to local and vice versa. Non-conflicting measurements can be running at the same time (see also section Task Priority Management in Chapter 5).
Measurement statistics: Repetition Stop Condition	Default settings: Continuous (results updated continuously) None (no stop on error)	Default settings: Single shot (results acquired once) Stop on error
Generators	Generators required for a measurement are automatically started when the measurement menu is opened. They are aborted on leaving the menu in order to free the resources. Only generators in a common menu can be running at the same time.	Generator state as defined in the remote control script; it is not changed on switching from remote to local and vice versa. Non-conflicting generators can be running at the same time (see also section Task Priority Management in Chapter 5).
Signalling (for network tests)	Connection Control menu opened automatically when a Signalling function group is accessed. BS Signal (for mobile / UE tests) switched on.	No Connection Control menu opened. BS Signal must be switched on explicitly.

The following example illustrates the properties of the remote debug mode after a remote to local transition (the opposite local to remote transition is analogous).

RF: CONF:SPEC:CONT:REP CONT, NONE, NONE

RF: INIT:SPEC

RF: INIT:POW

GOTO LOCAL

Configure the spectrum measurement to run in continuous mode

Start the spectrum measurement

Start a power vs. time measurement

Switch over to local control

Result: Remote debug mode off

Result: Remote debug mode on

Active menu: Power vs. Time
The measurement runs in continuous mode (results are updated continuously; the results acquired in the first single shot are lost).

The Spectrum measurement is switched off.

Active menu: Power vs. Time
The measurement is in the HLT state (the results acquired in the first single shot are displayed).

The Spectrum measurement runs in the background.
