Displaying Measurement Results

Limit Testing

Limit Testing
The measurement trace can be automatically compared to limits which
you define. The limits, entered as lines and points, can be displayed on
the screen or can be hidden. Whether or not the limits are displayed, the
analyzer will display "PASS" if the measurement satisfies the limits and
will display the FAIL
prescribed limits. Using limits gives the operator visual guides when
tuning devices, provides standard criteria for meeting device
specifications, and shows an instant indication of the comparison of data
versus specifications.
