(safety grounding) of power plug. It might result in potential risk of electrical shocking if
interrupted any earthling protection conductor or disconnected any grounding protection
terminals.
No disassemble to the instrument shell
The operator can not disassemble the instrument shell. Any parts of internal instrument can be
only replaced and adjusted by the professional maintenance staff. Once have any damages or
dysfunctional signs, stop operation immediately and wait for professional maintenance staff to
repair.
No operation in explosive environment
Do not use the instrument in the environment of existing flammable gases or fog.

5. SP8200 and SP6200 Integrated
System
5.1. System Introduction
5.1.1. System Overview
Along with the development of LTE product, the SP8200 and SP6200 integrated
system is established on the unit platform. SP6200 is integrated on SP8200. SP8200
control the operation of SP6200 and SP8200, dispatching of the two system. SP8200
displays the Log information of the test case of SP8200 and SP6200 at the same time.
User can edit the test plan of SP8200 and SP6200 on SP8200, and the test case of
SP8200 and SP6200 can run in the meantime, so the RRM test of TD-SCDMA and
LTE test can be done separately meanwhile, multi UE can be connected at the same
time.
The SP8200 and SP6200 system is composed of software and hardware which is
shown as Table5-1:

5.2. Function Introduction
SP8200 and SP6200 integrated system uses the interface of SP8200, by means of Mouse and
Keyboard to control the whole system, the main functions of this system are adding test plan of
SP6200 to SP8200 and adding interface of running test case.
SP8200 uses list to manage test suit and test plan. The new main functions of
SP8200 and SP6200 integrated system are in Table5-2:

5.2.1. Test Plan Management
SP8200 list all the test case of SP8200 by tree structure, which classify by the feature of test case.
User edit test plan by choosing test case.
SP6200 uses the same interface as SP8200, and the same way of editing test plan. As the separate
test suit, the test cases of SP8200 and SP6200 are separate, which can not display on the same
interface at the same time. The interface of opening the test suit is shown as below:
Figure 5-2 Test plan editing window
User edit the test plan of SP8200 or SP6200 separately, then save the test plan separately, and
display the test plan on the test suit managing interface. The interface of editing test plan is
shown as below:

5.2.2. Test Case Runnning Window
Test case running window mainly discrib the status of test case running, times of running test
case, display status information of test case. SP8200 manage test case running window by TAB,
each TAB page manage test case running window separately. All the test cases share Log
window and MSC window. After adding SP6200, a TAB manage test case running window, Log
window, MSC window. For each test case there is a separate window to support outputting test
case information. Test case running window is shown as below:
Figure 5-5 Test case running interface
In the figure,the blue part is the lable of TAB, below the TAB is the test plan window, Which
displays the basic information of all the test cases in the test plan.
OUTPUT window is the test case running information list. While the test case running, the
OUTPUT window displays the process information in real time.
The MSC window is on the right, which display the sequence diagram of primitive while test
case running, the time of sending primitive and the time of receiving primitive. The Message
Info window displays the stream of information.
After adding SP6200 on SP8200, each TAB page is related to test plan list window, OUTPUT
window, MSC window. There are different window resource on SP6200 and SP8200,which
make the information output normally.
5.2.3. Parameter Configure
Open Parameter Config window in System menu, when select System Config sub menu, the
parameter of SP8200 can be edited, when 6200 Para Setting selected, the parameter of SP6200
can be edited.

5.2.4. View Log Information
Both SP8200 and SP6200 have Log information, which is display in real time when test case
running. The Output window in TS Manager output the hyperlink of Log formation, which is
shown as below:
SP8200 LTE Terminal Radio Resource Management Conformance Test System User Manual

Figure 5-8 Hyperlink of Log file on TS Manager interface
SP8200 supplies Log Tracer to view communication of low layer in realtime. Log Tracer also
display UTRAN information and information stream.
Log information of SP6200 is the communication of low protocol stack, Message Analyzer
supplies the result and analyzed result of the log.
Log of SP6200 send to the formulate catalogue of PC though remote port, Message Analyser is I
integrated in SP8200 interface. It can open the log file which upload to local from remote port.
The interface of Message Analyser is shown as below:

TC Tracer is used to open TTCN log file.
SP6200 remote log use network mapping, which map the local environment of SP6200 to PC of
SP8200.
SP8200 interface is added to display the REPORT link of SP6200, and SP8200 display the log of
each test case in OUTPUT window, REPORT file link. Which is shown as below:
