PASS*/FAIL* Results
A result marked with an asterisk means that
measurements are in the tester’s accuracy uncertainty
range (Figure 15) and the “*” notation is required by the
selected test standard. These results are considered
marginal. Marginal passing and failing results are marked
with blue and red asterisks, respectively.
For a PASS* result you should look for ways to improve
the cabling installation to eliminate the marginal
performance.
A FAIL* result should be considered a failure.
