Figure illustrates the features and functions of the Receive Window. The receive window is split up into different sections. The multiple receive stream window provides details on the current receive stream. The system statistics section provides detailed statistics on the selected receive stream and for the entire system. By default the receive stream is 0. NOTE: TWO WQST devices are required to do receive testing. One for transmit, and one for receive. The drivers must be installed on separate PCs – two PCs are required as well. Figure 18 - Receive Window
15 TOSHIBA Wireless UWB Port Replicator Users Guide Revision 0.1, RX Settings 1. Receive Stream # - The active receive stream number. 2. Rx Mode - For the selected receive stream, the receiver can be placed into different verification modes. a. Basic Verification - All received frames have their FCS value verified. b. Fw CRC Verification -All received frames have their firmware computed checksum verified. This is in addition to the basic verification. 3. Stream # Filter - For the current selected stream, frames can be filtered in by the transmit stream number. All received data frames that are from the specified transmit stream # are classified to the current selected receive stream. 4. Destination Id Filter - For the current selected stream, frame can be filtered in by the 16-bit destination identifier. All received data frames with the specified destination Id are classified to the selected receive stream. System Statistics This section displays errors for the entire system. The exceptions are: • Pkts processed by MAC - Number of received frames that the WQST110 sees. • Pkts processed by FW - Number of received frames that the test firmware sees. • Burst Preamble - Number of received frames with a burst preamble. Stream Statistics Displays statistics for the selected receive stream, including information from the MAC header, payload size, modulation etc. PHY Error Statistics Enable 1. HCS - Enable counting of HCS errors. 2. TFC - Enable counting of TFC errors. 3. Rate Unsupported - Enable counting of rate unsupported errors. 4. Band Group - Enable counting of band group errors. Operational Instructions With two PCs, each with a WQST110 HUB, Double-click on the “ECC” icon. To open the receive window click on “Target” and select “Rx Window”, configure the receive settings.
