print results.
“Baud” has four settings: 2.4, 4.8, 9.6, and 19.2.
5. To change the settings for "Mode" and "Baud", do the
following:

On page 2-14, add the following note prior to section 2-21:
Note
If the CSU loop code is selected and the QuickBERT-T1
receives a CSU Loop Up code for approximately five to ten
seconds, the tester enters TX THRU mode and displays
’CSU LOOPBACK’ on the third line of the display. After the
tester is in TX THRU mode, if it receives a CSU Loop
Down code, it responds by going back to the original TX
Pattern and clearing the third line of the display.
