HP 37722/32A
telecom/datacom analyzer
Introduction
The HP 37722A telecom analyzer is an easy-to-use, lightweight field-
portable test set for in-service and out-of-service bit error and signal
measurement on CEPT digital circuits and services. The HP 37722A
analyzer provides framed/unframed pattern generation and
measurements at and 2 Mb/s. Also, it offers many other features to help
increase productivity and network uptime:
● n × 64 kb/s testing
● timeslot monitor including all signaling bits display
● timeslot access
● event-based storage in text and graphic form.
Options provide framed/unframed 8 Mb/s, framed/unframed
704 kb/s, 64 kb/s timeslot access and sub-rate processing
(X.50 divisions 2 and 3, and X.58).
The HP 37722A telecom analyzer is easily upgraded to the
HP 37732A telecom/datacom analyzer, which combines the full telecom
testing capability of the HP 37722A analyzer with datacom testing. The
HP 37732A analyzer consists of the HP 37722A analyzer and the HP
15901A Option 001 datacom module.

The HP 37732A telecom/datacom analyzer provides testing at V.24, V.35,
V.11/X.21-leased interfaces at rates up to 2 Mb/s. It also provides a full
range of BER measurements:
● control-circuit timing analysis with
transitions diagrams on the screen
● built-in V.24 breakout box
● internal synthesizer
● event-based storage in text and graphic form.
The HP 37732A analyzer reduces test time and speeds problem resolution
by simplifying test setup. It presents results in easy-to-read and easy-torecord ways that make it easy to pinpoint the cause of a problem.
The HP E4540A distributed network analyzer (DNA) software, for a PC
or laptop operating with Microsoft Windows®, can be used to remotely
control the HP 37722A telecom analyzer or HP 37732A telecom/datacom
analyzer over modem links from a local support center.
