The basic measurement settings are source, category, and the selection of the mea-
surement. Y
ou can refine the setup to get more specific results:
●
Gating
A gate limits the measurement to a user-defined part of the waveform. See Chap-
ter 8.2.3, "Measurement gates"
, on page 304.
●
Statistics and long term measurements
To evaluate time-dependent behavior of measurement results, you can use statis-
tics, long term measurements, and tracks. You can also decide, how many mea-
surement results per acquisition contribute to the calculation. See: Chapter 8.2.12,
"Result analysis", on page 355.
●
Limit checks and actions on test result
Limit and margin checks evaluate if the measurement result exceeds a specified
value. You can define actions that are performed on limit or margin violation. See:
Chapter 8.2.13, "Limit and margin checks", on page 363.
Measurement categories
The various measurement are grouped in several categories. The category defines
which sources can be analyzed.
Time domain:
●
Amp/Time: amplitude and time measurements
●
Eye: eye diagram measurements
●
Histogram: measurements on histograms
●
Jitter measurements (available if one of the jitter options is installed)
●
Protocol: available for audio signals (option R&S RTO6-K510)
Protocol: advanced analysis (available if option R&S RTO6-K500 is installed)
Frequency domain
●
Spectrum: measurements on spectrum waveforms
●
Histogram: measurements on histograms
