# fdmdv\_put\_test\_bits(1)

a diagnostic tool for the codec2 library to test fdmdv\_mod.

## NAME

fdmdv\_put\_test\_bits - a diagnostic tool for the codec2 library to test fdmdv\_mod.

## SYNOPSIS

**fdmdv\_put\_test\_bits usage:** *InputBitFile* *\[Nc\]*

## DESCRIPTION

Using a file of packed test bits as input, determines bit error rate.  Useful for testing fdmdv\_demod.

## EXAMPLE

 fdmdv\_put\_test\_bits test.c2

## OPTIONS

The first argument,  *InputBitFile* is the file name of a file to be created with test sample data. If "-" is given the input is taken from stdin.

The optional second argument, *\[Nc\]* is the number of carriers to use in the modem. The default is 14. The minimum is 2 and the maximum is 20.
