Using limit testing
Optional limit testing allows you to compare an active signal with a template waveform. Build your template waveform from a
known good signal and use it to compare to an active signal to perform pass/fail testing.
1. Select Mask > Limit Test Setup....
2. Create the template by selecting the
Source, Destination, and Tolerances. Use
the multipurpose knobs to adjust the
Tolerances. Tolerances specify how
much margin the signal is allowed before
failing the limit test.
3. Click Save. You can create multiple
templates and save them for later use.
4. Select the source waveform to compare
to the template.
5. Select the template to compare to the
Source waveform. (Usually, this is the
template that you created in step 3).
6. Click Failure Notification to set up the
Failure Notification.
7. Select the failure notification(s), and then
click Setup to return to the setup control
window.
