Summary The
summary
is
a
log
of
the
limit
test
data
from
failed
test
results
.
There
are
two
parts
to
the
summary.
The rst
part is
a header
that
is
a
running
total
of
the
number
of
tests that
have failed.
For
example,
if
you
have
selected
10
failures
,
after
ve
failures
the summary
might have
two
rise
time
measurements
failed
high,
one
rise
time
measurement
failed
low
,
and
two
+width
measurements
failed
high.
After
each
additional
failure
,
the
header
information
is
updated
to
include
the
most
recent
number
of
failures
.
The
second
part
is
the
log
of
the
test
results
.
After
each
failure
,
all
of
the
measurement
parameters
at
the
time
of
the
failure
are
logged
to
the
summary.
After
the
limit
test
is
complete
,
the
summary
contains
a
log
of
all the
measurement results
at
each
failure
.
When
a
failure
does
not
occur
during a
set of
measurements
,
the
header
information
is
updated
to
show
that the
measurements passed,
but
measurement
results
are
not
logged
to
the summary
le unless
a failure
occurred.
When
the
screen
or
a
waveform
is logged
to a
disk, a
line
is
added
to
the
summary
le
that
indicates
the
le
name.
The Format softkey allows you to determine if the summary le is brief or if it
contains statistics. Brief is a one line log of the failure. Statistics includes the
measurement statistics plus the one line log. Either format also documents
les saved as a result of the failure.
When the
destination
is
the
printer
,
both
the
header
portion
and
the log
portion of
the
summary
are
printed
after
each
failure
and
at
the
end
of the
test.
There is usually one summary le for the limit test.
