Configuration of a measurement test on a protocol tester
First Claim
1. A method of configuring a measurement task on a protocol tester comprises the steps of:
- a) displaying a problem field on a display device, the problem field having a plurality of network elements for a telecommunication network;
b) graphically activating one of the network elements;
c) displaying a plurality of measurement tasks on the display device which are possible with respect to the activated network element;
d) graphically selecting one of the measurement tasks; and
e) entering parameters level by level in lower levels starting from a level of the activated network element, with the parameters not specified by the user being occupied by standard values.

Abstract
Configuration of a measurement task on a protocol tester includes displaying a problem field on a display device, the problem field having several network elements of a telecommunication network; graphically activating one of the network elements by a user; displaying different measurement tasks on the display device which are possible with respect to the activated network element; graphically selecting one of the measurement tasks by the user; and entering further parameters for the configuration of the measurement task, proceeding from one level of the network element level by level in lower levels, with the parameters not specified by the user being occupied by standard values.

15. A protocol tester for configuring a measurement task comprising:
-
means for displaying a problem field, the problem field having a plurality of network elements for a telecommunication network;
means for graphically activating one of the network elements;
means for displaying a plurality of measurement tasks which are possible with respect to the activated network topology element;
a storage device in which standard values for parameters are stored, which standard values may serve for the configuration of the measurement task; and
means for graphically selecting one of the measurement tasks; and
means for entering further parameters level by level in lower levels starting from a level of the activated network element, with the parameters not specified by the user being occupied by standard values.
