4.4.5.5 Selftest Control Softkeys
The selftest is turned on or off using the ON | OFF or RESTART | STOP keys. The mea-
surement control softkey shows the current measurement state.
Save Profile, Load Profile
A profile is a particular selftest configuration that you store for later reuse. The profile
contains all enabled selftests together with their user-defined parameters (if there are
any) and the Selftest Configuration parameters.
4.4.5.6 Selftest Configuration
The selftest measurement is configured using the parameters at the beginning of the
"Selftest" section in the "Setup" dialog.
Fig. 4-10: Selftest configuration
Start Automatically
Starts the selected selftests automatically when the R&S CMW500 software is started
next time (service feature).
Repetition Mode
Defines how often the selftest measurement is repeated if it is not stopped explicitly or
by a stop condition "Halt on Failure".
●
In "Continuous" mode all selected selftests are repeated until the selftest is explicitly
aborted; the results are updated after each test cycle: The R&S CMW500 performs
a long-term test.
●
A "Single Shot" measurement is stopped after all selected tests have been comple-
ted. This mode is appropriate for verifying the correct functioning of the instrument.
Stop Condition
Specifies the conditions for an early termination of the selftest measurement.
"None"
All selftests are executed according to the selected "Repetition" mode,
irrespective of their state.
"Halt On Fail-
ure"
Test execution is stopped as soon as one of the selected selftests has
reached the "Failed" state, irrespective of the repetition mode set. If
none of the test fails, seftest execution is continued according to the
selected "Repetition" mode.
