Summary of GPIB command changes for this release: E1962B and E6702A/B/C/D/E/F/T Applications: GPIB Command Revision Information
This firmware revision includes all of the new features added in the E1962B B.08.20 Release - December 2004 and the following new features unique to the E6702B:
A downloadable version of the Online User's Guide (CHM Help File) that is specific to this release is available at:
http://www.home.keysight.com/upload/cmc_upload/All/E1962B_B09_E6702B_B02_Ref_Guide.chm
The test set supports two standard FPC mode (000 - Primary 800 and 011 - EIB) and one non-standard FPC mode (Ignore FPC Bits). The FPC functionality is used for the mobile station to control the forward traffic channel power level to achieve the target Frame Error Rate (FER). All of the FPC related information, such as parameter settings, displayed results, operations, etc., can be accessed from the Forward Power Control .
To generate faded forward channel signals with AWGN, the test set must be equipped with a rear panel Digital Bus connecting to an external PC running Baseband Studio software. See Digital Bus Information for details.
When the test set's R-FCH gating mode is enabled and the mobile station supports the gating mode, the mobile station will gate the R-FCH/R-Pilot channel when transmitting at 1/8th data rate. See R-FCH Gating for details.
With these settings, you can evaluate the mobile station's behavior in response to the specified calling party number (CPN) parameters (for example, to see whether the mobile station displays the calling party's number as expected). See Calling Party Number Parameters for details.
This feature provides the capability to specify the frame patterns to be sent on the forward traffic channel. A typical usage for specifying the frame pattern is for forward power control EIB test. See F-FCH Frame Pattern Setup ).
The dormant state is an important advantage of the packet data service offering since it allows the mobile station's natural state to be dormancy, where the mobile station does not utilize any radio resources and has minimal power consumption. The subsequent sessions (when the mobile station comes out of dormancy) can be started without having to re-establish PPP link again and the connection time is faster. See Packet Data Connection Processing States for details.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________
This firmware revision includes all of the new features added in the E1962B B.07.15 release (see B.07.15 release - December 2003 ) and the following new features unique to the E6702B:
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________
This firmware revision includes the radioOne , calibration signal, which was previously available only with the E1962B Test Application, B.06.30 release. See B.06.42 release - June 2003 .
In addition, data rate changes can now be made while maintaining a Service Option 33 (High Speed Packet Data) call. See Packet Data Service Data Rates .
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________
This firmware revision includes all of the new features added in the E1962B cdma2000 Mobile Test Application, B.06.20 release, except for the radioOne , calibration signal. The unique features of E6702A added in this release include:
The data channel provides support for Service Option 33, a high speed packet data service. With this feature, a data enabled wireless device connected to the test set's front panel RF port can exchange IP data packets with a server connected to the test set's rear panel LAN port. Depending on the selected service option and data rate, data can be carried on both the F-FCH (Forward Fundamental Channel) and the F-SCH (Forward Supplemental Channel).
Ping, a utility that provides a simple IP connection check, is also supported.
With this firmware revision, the Graphical Access Probe Power measurement has the added capability to display a sequence of up to 60 access probes. Originally, 20 access probes could be displayed.
The time span can now be adjusted to display access probes measured within a specified time period beginning with the first access probe. The span length can be specified to any value from 5 to 120 seconds.
Two markers provide the added capability to display relative (delta) power levels between any two access probes.
A table below the Graphical Access Probe Power graph displays the absolute power level of each access probe, along with the delta power relative to each previous probe. The elapsed (delta) time period between the first access probe and each subsequent probe is also displayed. This table can be scrolled to display any portion of the access probe sequence.
The E6582A Wireless Protocol Advisor is now capable of logging the following:
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________
These are the original features of the E6702A. This firmware release includes all of the features of the E1962B cdma2000 Mobile Test Application, B.04 release and the following features unique to the E6702A.
With the E6582A Wireless Protocol Advisor running on an external PC connected to the test set protocol messages can be logged, filtered, decoded, and saved to file to provide detailed information regarding signaling between the test set and a cdma2000 device. Timestamping of messages and identification of specified signaling events allows analysis of the timing and nature of signaling events.
The graphical access probe power measurement consists of measuring a series of channel power measurements triggered by a rise in RF power detected on the test set's RF input. This measurement is performed with the test set's call limit mode feature turned on. By inhibiting the connection of a call, the cdma2000 device transmits its maximum number of access probes.
Each measurement is displayed in a bar graph with a maximum of 20 access probes displayed at one time.
The FER (Frame Error Rate) measurement includes three new measurement results provided to identify the types of errors counted by this measurement. The three types of errors now identified are:
Soft or Softer handoffs can now be performed because of the addition of another simulated cell (base station). The second cell provides pilot, fundamental, and OCNS channels with settable power levels on the pilot and fundamental channels and settable Walsh codes on the fundamental and OCNS channels. Pilot strength levels are displayed in dB and in units specified in test standards that express power in -0.5 dB increments relative to total cell power.
In addition, a timing delay feature has been introduced that delays the cell 2 timing relative to cell 1 by up to 16 PN chips (13.02 microseconds).
All parameters needed to control pilot detection thresholds are provided in the soft handoff parameters setup.
A softkey has also been added that sends the Pilot Measurement Request Order message to the mobile station, allowing the immediate retrieval of pilot strength and status information at any time during a call, regardless of whether a soft handoff is on or off. Timestamping of pilot strength requests and reports is displayed in a table along with current status information.
