To measure and display the safe operating area, the instrument uses the following
measurements and diagrams:
●
"XY1" XY Diagram 1 to measure the logarithmic waveform
●
"XY2" XY Diagram 2 to measure the linear waveform
●
"M1" Math 1 to calculate the voltage signal
●
"M2" Math 2 to calculate the current signal
The used resources are listed in the "Details" tab. See also: Chapter 16.2.3, "Details
tab", on page 966.
The results of the safe operating area mask test are described in Table 16-3.
Table 16-3: Results of the mask test
Result Description
Acq. completed Number of tested acquisitions
Acq. remaining Remaining acquisitions until "Average count / Nx
Single count" is reached
State Shows if the test has been completed. The state is
set to "Finished" when "Nx Single count" acquisi-
tions are tested and the number of "Acq. remaining"
is 0. As long as the number of tested acquisitions is
less the "Nx Single count" number, the state is "Run-
ning".
If you run the acquisition with [RUN CONT], or the
number of played history acquisitions exceeds "Nx
Single count", the mask testing is performed accord-
ing to fail criteria settings independently of the test
state. The testing is not stopped when the state is
set to "Finished".
Sample hits Number of samples that hit the mask
Acquisition hits Number of acquisitions that contained at least one
sample hit
Fail rate Ratio of acquisition hits to the number of tested
acquisitions
Test result A test has failed if the number of sample hits or
acquisition hits exceeds the limit of "Violation toler-
ance" hits
