failure of the bandwidth test.

9) Tick the

[Fail Sign on/OFF]

check box in the dialog box. The

FAIL

prompt will be provided in case of failure

of the bandwidth test.

10) Click

[OK]

. Thus the bandwidth test setting is completed.

3.5.5.2 Display of Bandwidth Test Results

Bandwidth test results will be displayed in the upper left corner of the trace. If the test results are acceptable,
“

PASS

” will be displayed. The red

-type bandwidth marks will appear on both sides of the bandwidth.
