Test
The Test softkey starts the limit test. Off keeps the limit test from running
which allows you to set up test parameters before starting the limit test. On
starts the limit test running. When the limit test is on, the total number of
failed waveforms, the total number of waveforms measured, and the test
status are displayed next to the measurement results.
While the test is running, you can toggle the Test softkey to off, which stops
the tests and resets the total number of failures found to zero. Restarting the
test from this points restarts the test from the beginning.
After the test has reached completion, the oscilloscope stops the test and
stops acquiring data. If you set the Test softkey to off after completion of the
test, the test results are removed from the screen.
Measurement
The limit test runs on all active measurements. The Measurement softkey
allows you to select each of the measurements and configure the Fail when,
Upper limit, and Lower limit softkeys for that measurement. This allows you
to individualize the test for each measurement that the oscilloscope is
running. The Run until and Fail action softkeys are global for all of the limit
test measurements.
If automatic measurements are not running, the Measurement softkey
displays none as the only choice. If none is displayed, select one or more
measurements from the keypad for the oscilloscope to run. Then, set up the
limit test on those measurements.
