Setting Up WDM Analysis Parameters

You can set your pass/fail threshold limits in different ways depending on
the type of test you are performing.

Threshold Limit

Definition

None

No threshold limit is set. The results will be displayed without a

Pass/Fail verdict.

Min. only

The threshold limit is set for a minimum value only. The

Pass/Fail verdict is declared as Pass (in green), when the value

is equal to or greater than the minimum threshold set. The

verdict is declared as Fail (in red), when the value is below the

minimum threshold set.

Max. only

The threshold limit is set for a maximum value only. The

Pass/Fail verdict is declared as Pass (in green), when the value

is equal to or less than the maximum threshold set. The verdict

is declared as Fail (in red), when the value is above the

maximum threshold set.

Min. and Max.

The threshold limit is set for the minimum and maximum value.

The Pass/Fail verdict is declared as Pass (in green), when the

value is equal to or within the minimum and maximum

thresholds set. The Pass/Fail verdict is declared as Fail (in red),

when the value is beyond the minimum or maximum

thresholds set.

Use Default

When this limit is set, the corresponding threshold set for the

default channels in the Analysis Setup tab will be applied to

the channel.

Max. Deviation

The threshold limit is set for the deviation value. The Pass/Fail

verdict is declared as Pass (in green), when the value is equal

to or within the deviation threshold set. The Pass/Fail verdict is

declared as Fail (in red), when the value is beyond deviation

threshold set.
