TDS3000C Series Oscilloscopes
Make a Quick Pass/Fail Test of a Device-under-test (DUT)
Manufacturing engineers often perform repetitive
tests in which they desire quick pass/fail decisions
on a DUT. The TDS3000C Series offers quick
pass/fail, or limit, tests by comparing active signals
of a DUT with template envelope waveforms of a
known good device. The oscilloscope can be set up
to stop the acquisition, sound a beep, print a hard
copy or save the waveform to disk if any part of the
active waveform strays outside the reference limits.
To create a template for limit testing and
perform a limit test:
1. Press the
QuickMenu
front panel button.
2. Press the
Menu
bottom button to select Limit Test.
3. Press the top two side menu buttons to select the
Setup On Violation
options.
4. Select the
Template Source
waveform and the
Template Destination
reference location.
5. Set the vertical and horizontal limits of the template
waveform.
6. Store the limit test template.
7. Press
Ref
and select the specified reference memory
to display the template.
8. Press
Control
to select
On
and start the test.
Requires TDS3LIM limit testing module.
