To Enable or Disable the Pass/Fail Test Function
Press Utility Pass/Fail to enter the test menu. In this menu, press Enable to
enable or disable the pass/fail test function.
Note: The pass/fail test function can not be enabled when the oscilloscope is in any
of the following states.
In X-Y time base mode.
In ROLL time base mode.
In Y-T time base mode and the horizontal time base is set to 200 ms/div or
slower (the instrument enters the “Slow Sweep” mode).
The waveform recording function is enabled.
None of the channels (CH1 to CH4) is turned on.
To Start or Stop the Pass/Fail Test Operation
When the pass/fail test function is enabled, pressing Operate in the pass/fail test
menu can start or stop the test operation. “
” denotes the test is running; “■”
denotes the test stops.
During the test, the oscilloscope performs the test, displays the test results and
outputs the test failure information according to the current settings. If the waveform
measured at certain time point passes through the test mask area (refer to “To Set
the Test Mask”), it is judged as a failed frame.
You can select the source channel of the test, create the test mask, set the display
state of the test results, set the output form of the test failure, save the test mask in
the internal or external memory as well as load the test mask when needed
according to your need. For details, please refer to the following introductions.
Note:
You can only start or stop the pass/fail test operation, turn on or off the display
of the test results as well as save and load the test mask when the pass/fail test
function is enabled.
After the test operation starts, you cannot modify the source channel and adjust
the test mask.
