HP 37718A
Communications Performance Analyzer
OmniBER 718 (37718A) communications performance analyzer offers a one box field portable multi
2.5Gb/s (STM-16/OC-48) for installation, maintenance, commissioning, system verification and manufacture of SDH/SONET/ATM
transport networks and network equipment.
New capability now shipping in 2000
ATM test capability up to 2.5Gb/s
ITU-T O.172 jitter compliance
Jitter generation and measurement at 1.5, 45 and 52 Mb/s
User definable jitter masks
Synchronous-only configurations (no PDH/T-carrier interfaces required)
E1 mapped into DS3
Smartsetup
Not only is the OmniBER 718 rugged and portable, its easy
maintenance of SDH and SONET networks.
The OmniBER 718 lets you start testing with just two key presses! With the tester connected to any signal, simply press the

structure of the input signal. For SDH or SONET signals, the OmniBER 718 also automatically displays all of the J1 trace
identifiers, that is 16 J1 identifiers in STM
simple process to select a channel of interest and to explore further into the payload.

Concatenated Payloads
OmniBER 718 provides concatenated payload testing at all levels of an SDH or SONET 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 718 is shipped with a set of universal instrument drivers (UID's). UID's provide a suite of graphical function panels
which make programming the OmniBER 718 easy and fast. There is no need to know about SCPI 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++
are grouped together in functional blocks so you don't need an instrument expert to get tests up and running

service monitoring
The Distributed network analyzer software (E4540A) lets you control the OmniBER 718 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 718 and
download results to verify testing is going as planned. Disconnect and reconnect anytime without interrupting testing.
