RIGOL  Chapter 11 Waveform Recording 
11-12  MSO4000/DS4000 User’s Guide 
To Analyze the Recorded Waveform   
 
The waveform analysis function can analyze the analog channel waveforms recorded 
(use the “Record” mode or “Open” mode) and provide the analysis results. 
MSO4000/DS4000 supports trace and pass/fail test analysis modes. 
 
Trace Mode 
1.  Compare each frame of data with the template and find out the maximum 
difference value.  
2.  Normalize the difference value of each frame by taking the maximum difference 
value as reference.  
3.  Compare the normalized difference value of each frame (namely the “CurFrame 
Diff”) with the preset “Threshold” (Setup  Threshold). If the normalized 
difference value is greater than or equal to the threshold, the frame is judged as 
an error frame.  
 
Pass/Fail Test Mode 
Compare each frame of data with the test mask. If the difference value is greater 
than or equal to the “Threshold” (Setup  Threshold), the frame is judged as an 
error frame and the corresponding “CurFrame Diff” is 100%. Otherwise, the frame is 
juged as correct and the “CurFrame Diff” is 0%.
