Specifies the number of unique packets for which the pseudonoise (PN) generator must run continuously. The BT Generation resets the PN generator after it generates the number of packets that you specify in this property. For example, if you set this property to 1, the same payload is used in every packet; and if you set this property to 2, the same payload is used after every 2 packets. Configure this property only if you set the Payload Data Type property to PN Sequence.

For the bit error rate (BER) loop in device under test (DUT) measurements, set this property to the same value as the BER Number of Unique Packets property. For PER loop through measurements with a DUT, set this property to the same value as the PER Number of Packets property.

Refer to the Dirty Transmitter topic for more information about the restrictions on the value of the Number of Unique Packets property.

The default value is 1.
