SSS a VF PCM Tester 0 For measurements on digital exchanges, PCM multiplexers and analog trans- mission equipment ‘Compact VF generator and receiver Performs all measurements stipulated in ITU-T Rec. 0.133 for analog interfaces D.C. loop holding circuits in input and output Memory for 100 instrument setups and results Worldwide instrument of reference So S o Ss ine-up, maintenance and fault-finding Opera- tors of VF transmission equipment as well as 10, 24 and 30 channel PCM systems must make fre- ‘quent measurements on the analog interfaces of these systems. Typical requirements involve VF measurements and recording of specific PCM parameters such as the quantizing noise and gain response. Data communications (X.25 or group 3 facsimile) using high-speed modems places sig- nificant demands on analog or PCM channels. The analog interfaces of primary muttiplex equipment are found in the analog exchanges; line cards in digital exchanges also have analog interfaces on the subscriber side, End-to-end measurements. are used to check the quality of the line between muttiplexers (“full channel” measurements, ITU-T G.712). A pair of PCM-23s are used, one acting as generator and the other as receiver. Tests can be carried out on the system without having to interrupt any existing Connections or to wait for the cleardown signal on all the other telephone channels. ‘Summary of measurement modes ~ Level ~ Loss ~ Stability ~ Frequency response = Gainvlevel response ~ Crosstalk = Idle channel noise = Total distortion Out-of-service measurements can be made using a single PCM-23 between the analog inputs and outputs via the digital loop of the multiplex equipment under test. Accurate yet easy to use The PCM-23 was especially designed for field applications. The instrument is battery operated and runs for approximately 8 hours on a set of batteries. The MK-1 equipment case has space for the PCM-23, test cables, batteries, a.c. adapter/charger and instrument manual. Built-in loop holding circuits can be separately switched in parallel to the input and output to maintain the loop. The memory facilities for results and instrument setups make for quick and reliable measurements. A self-test is executed each time the instrument is powered up. When a new setting is made, an autocal routine is run prior to the first measurements. Despite its compact size, the PCM-23 has a stabile synthe- sizer which allows frequency settings in 1 Hz steps.Specifications of the VF PCM tester Pom.23 Generator Output BN 2035/01........... .balanced, floating, 3 pole CF socket BN 2036/02. .... . balanced socket, matches WECO 310 plug BN 2035/03, balanced socket, matches |214 APS plug Output impedance, switchable. .... approx. 0, 600.0, OPT (OPT = user-specified; standard value = 220.0 + 115 nF || 8209) Signal balance ratio (ITU-T 0.121) ...... 46 dB Retum loss, Zou = 600.0 >36 dB Max. levels at output AG, en +24dBm Dc. = 60 V from Zeus = 600 2 Output signals Sinewave Frequency range ... 200 Hz to 4 kH2 Resolution, ee z He Digital or stepwise frequency setting Step width, selectable 1 Hzto 1 kHz Level range : =55 to +5 dBm0 at relative levels between 2010 +4.dBr Resolution...
