• Select your compliance point: Transmitter (TX Spec), Receiver (RX Spec), TX add-in, RX add-in, TX
System or RX system.
To perform the measurement, first, click the ‘Pulse Find’ button
to automatically set the voltage
levels. Then click the ‘Single/Acquire’ button . The measurement takes approximately 1 minute
to complete.
Several views are available once the measurement is complete. The specification value, the measured
value and Pass or Fail is displayed. Additional values are displayed. These values are not directly
required for the Specification, but are useful for diagnostic purposes in the event that a test fails or
only passes by a small margin. The Summary view shows the revision of the specification that the tool
will measure. Many specifications continue to evolve and may change. Check to see that this is the
current specification release. Change Views using the “Current View” setting. Views will change but
the information on the left does not. Below is a description of the different available views.
