Signal Generator and User Interface for Setting Test Sequences and Parameters of a Test Signal

A method of setting test sequences and parameters of a test signal comprising the steps of:

• a) defining a Packet Group;
• b) defining an indexed Presentation Protocol Data Unit;
• c) inputting and processing parameters for said indexed Presentation Protocol Data Unit;
• d) associating said processed indexed Presentation Protocol Data Unit with said Packet Group;
• d) repeating steps b), c) and d) for additional indexed Presentation Protocol Data Unit;
• and
• e) repeating steps a), b), c) and d) for additional Packet Groups.

A signal generator for setting test sequences and parameters of a test signal comprising:

• a user interface for selecting parameters in at least a first Presentation Protocol Data Unit associated with at least a first Packet Group for said test signal;
• a signal processing unit compiling at least said first Packet Group containing at least said Presentation Protocol Data Unit to generate digital data representative of the test signal with at least first Packet Group containing at least said Presentation Protocol Data Unit;
• and
• a waveform generator receiving the digital data and generating a test signal output having at least first Packet Group containing at least said Presentation Protocol Data Unit.
