Optimizing Parameters
If the presented measurement results do not answer your questions
adequately, you can easily modify the setup parameters in the
Properties dialog box. When changing the measurement settings after
the measurement has been run, please note:
• Parameters that affect the data capture.
Changes on the Parameters page take only effect if you run the
measurement again.
• Parameters that change the display of the measured data.
Changes on the Pass/Fail, Viewand Color tabs only affect the
display of the results. There is no need to repeat the measurement.
Saving Measurements for Later Analysis
You can save a completed measurement for later analysis. This
includes the settings you selected for the measurement and the
measured data. This allows you to load the measurement at a later
stage and inspect all data in detail. You can also change display
parameters to evaluate this data even more thoroughly.
NO TE
When saving the measurement, the following settings are not saved:
• selected pattern
• settings of the pattern generator
• settings of the error detector
To save these settings, see "Saving Instrument States" on page 190.
Besides saving a measurement as a file, you can also export the data to
any spreadsheet application.
Advanced Analysis – Procedures
This section describes some basic functions.
If you want to store the measurement results for later use, you can
either save them as an .mcp file (to be opened in the Serial BERT
software) or as a .txt file for spreadsheet applications.
