Anritsu ME3401A

The ME3401A offers portability and easy operation and is ideal for testing, evaluating, and monitoring DS-2, DS-1C, and DS-1 system as well as the DS-3 system. This multifunctional instrument has five error detection functions (bit, parity, frame, bipolar violation, and CRC- 6), seven measurement functions (error rate, error count, error seconds, % error free seconds, threshold error seconds, error performance data, and alarm seconds), jitter modulation and measurement functions, and multiplexer test functions. These functions make the ME3401A a powerful tool for commissioning, and production tests, as well as for maintaining, and troubleshooting digital radios, fiber optic systems, and digital multiplexers. In addition, live traffic performance can be measured by using a wide input range, the frame error detection function, the demultiplex function, and the built-in printer. The printer outputs the measurement results and automatically records the time, and contents when an error or alarm occurs. The receiver makes it easy to measure the error rate or error count distribution and error performance*.
