  • User Entry: When the MAC address is known, enter in the field below and click the + button. Alternatively, click Select DUTs button to select any of the discovered DUTs based on their MAC address. You may click the Refresh button to update the list of DUT.
Device Count

Set the number of devices (1 to 4) to return during the discovery stage or according to the number of DUT(s) placed in the shield box.

The maximum number that you can set depends on the multi-device module license (DXX options) installed in X8721A.

Scan Timeout (s) Set the duration from 1 to 60 seconds for the X8721A to scan and discover devices.
PER Method The default selection is set as Auto and you can select any method out of the 19 options listed in the drop-down list. The X8721A will then scan for devices based on the chosen method.

  • Continuous mode: The software will perform the measurements repeatedly until you click the Stop button. The results in the table will be updated at the end of each run.
