Setting the Pass/Fail Limits

The measurement limits setting enables you to alter the value of the maximum and minimum test limits for the Average Insertion Loss measurement. Limits are set in dB. These settings affect the metrics color display: red represents fail, green represents pass. Next to the displayed measurement value, a (P) indicating Pass, or (F) indicating Fail, will be shown to further indicate whether the value is within or outside the set limits.
