Abstract: System for automatic signal recognition and selection in a Synchronous Optical Network (Sonet) and Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) signal. The system automatically looks for signal location, signal rate, signal structure, signal payload mapping, and signal test patterns and displays the results in a matrix form. A user is allowed to select a specific channel within a specific structure, thereby setting the instrument's receiver.
