HP 37719A
Communications Performance Analyzer
HP 37719A Product Details
The OmniBER 719 (37719A) communications performance analyzer
offers a one box field portable multi-rate BER and jitter tester up to
2.5Gb/s (OC-48) for installation, maintenance, commissioning, system verification
and manufacture of SONET/ATM transport networks and network equipment.
New capability now shipping in 2001
- ATM test capability up to 2.5Gb/s
- Jitter generation and measurement at all SONET rates from 2.5 Gb/s
to 52 Mb/s
- Jitter generation and measurement at all T-carrier/PDH rates: 1.5,
45, 2, 8 and 34 Mb/s
- User definable jitter masks
-
Smartsetup
Not only is OmniBER 719 rugged and portable, its
easy-to-use Smartsetup and Smart Tests simplify the
installation and maintenance of SONET networks.
OmniBER 719 lets you start testing with just two
key presses! With the tester connected to any signal, simply press
the Smart Test key on the front panel, select Smartsetup
and the autodiscover wizard identifies the line rate and payload
structure of the input signal. For SONET signals, OmniBER 719 also
automatically displays all of the J1 trace identifiers, that is
48 J1 identifiers in OC-48. Once the signal structure has been identified
it's a simple process to select a channel of interest and to explore
further into the payload.

Concatenated Payloads
OmniBER 719 provides concatenated payload testing
at all levels of a SONET/ATM signal. Concatenated payloads are vital
for the rapid testing of high bandwidth paths before they are brought
into service. Concatenated payloads are also the recommended worse-case
signal for performing jitter tests.
Remote control for manufacturing applications
OmniBER 719 is shipped with a set of universal instrument
drivers (UID's). UID's provide a suite of graphical function panels
which make programming OmniBER 719 easy and fast. There is no need
to know about SCPI commands - the commands are generated automatically
by setting switches on a graphical function panel. UID's are supported
in the following environments:
-
LabVIEW
-
LabWindows/CVI
-
HP VEE
-
Visual Basic
-
C/C++
And on the following operating systems:
-
Windows 95
-
Windows NT
-
HP-UX
-
Sun Solaris
Remote control for in-service monitoring
The Distributed network analyzer software (E4540A)
lets you control OmniBER 719 remotely, via modem or LAN, from a
PC with a mouse. Changes you make on the virtual front panel are
seen at the remote end and key presses made on the instrument are
visible on the virtual front panel on your PC. For long term testing,
dial in to a remote OmniBER 719 and download results to verify testing
is going as planned. Disconnect and reconnect anytime without interrupting
testing.
