Displaying ripple test results

Measurement point and test results
Failed measurement points will be displayed in red on the screen. The test result for the
trace will be indicated as Pass or Fail in the upper-right area of the graph. You can also
display the ripple value at the selected frequency band.
The result will be displayed as Ripln:Pass (or Fail) for each trace. n denotes the trace
number. Bn will be followed by the ripple value (if the ripple display is turned off, only Bn
will be displayed without the ripple value).
For example, in Figure 11-8, "Sample ripple test results," Ripl1:Pass in the first line
indicates the result for trace 1. The value following B3 is the ripple value at the third
frequency band specified in the ripple test. Similarly, the second line indicates the test
result for trace 2, showing the ripple value at the first frequency band.
For information on how to display the results, see "Turning on/off ripple test and
displaying results" on page 388.

Test result for channel
If a channel has a judgment result of "fail," the message will be displayed as shown in
Figure 11-2. (It will be judged as failed if one or more failed traces are found in the limit
test, ripple test, or bandwidth test within the channel.)
You can also specify the On/Off setting for the Fail Sign in the limit test menu and as well
as in the bandwidth test menu. From the ripple test menu, follow the steps below to turn it
on/off.
