Pass/Fail Example:
The Pass/Fail Test is one of the enhanced special functions of this oscilloscope. By this function, the
Scope can compare the input signal with the established waveform mask (Shown in blue in figure). If the
waveform “touches” the mask, a “Fail” signal occurs, otherwise the test passes. When needed, a
programmable output can be used for external automatic control applications. The output is built in as a
standard feature and is optically isolated. Do the steps as follows:
1. Save a waveform as the reference for comparison.
2. Input the reference waveform into CH1 and press AUTO to sync on that waveform.
3. Press the M/R button to enter the REF mode. Set Source to CH1 and Location to RefA. Press
SAVE button (F3)
4. Press the Utility key to enter the Utility menu.
5. Press the F5 key to go to page 3.
6. Press Pass/Fail (F3) button to enter the Pass/Fail menu.
7. On page 1, Set Enable to Open to turn On Pass/Fail, Select Source to CH1 (the input source).
8. On Page 2 of the Pass/Fail menu, set OUT STOP to Open (on) or Close (off) to enable the Stop-on
function.
Set OUT to pass or fail to choose Stop-on pass or fail.
Set OUT to Pass Ring or Fail Ring to set an alarm tone.
Set Msg Display to Open (On) or Close (Off).
9. Create the Pass/Fail Mask: Go to page 3 of the Pass/Fail menu and Click on Regular.
Change the Vertical or Horizontal values of the mask (shown in blue in figure) by clicking the up or
down keys on the multifunction control to set the div of the vertical and horizontal values.
Press the Create button to enter these new values into the mask.
Press the Save button to enter mask save mode. Set up the memory device and location to
save the mask settings. This can be to either the local SD memory or a USB memory device.
Press Save to save the mask or Recall to retrieve a previously saved mask.
Click Back twice to return to the Pass/Fail menu.
10. From page 1 or the Pass/Fail menu, Press Start to start the Pass/Fail function. Press
End to stop the test. See the Pass/Fail test display in the figure below.
Note the Message Display in the upper left corner.
11. To Turn off Pass/Fail testing, Set Enable Test on page 1 of the Pass/Fail menu to
Close
