Upon test completion, the HOME CERTIFICATION AUTOTEST results screen displays an overall Pass/Fail result. For each measurement (LEVEL, MER, BER, HUM, C/N, etc.) measured in relation to a limit set, a Pass/Fail symbol appears to the left of the measurement. When no limit set is enabled, a Pass/Fail status is not displayed. When a measurement fails an AutoTest, an arrow to the right of the numeric value indicates the direction in which the failure occurred. An up arrow indicates a measurement over the limit range. A down arrow indicates a measurement below the limit range. (NOTE: When the selected limit set is "off", all tested channels appear on this list and no pass/fail information is displayed.)

NOTE:
Only valid measurements resulting from completed tests are displayed. When a test is halted or an error occurs prohibiting a valid measurement, a dash indicates an invalid numeric value.

TIP:
Use the CONFIGURE GENERAL - SET LOCAL PREFERENCES configuration screen to specify the type of signal level units and digital performance units you prefer. Use the CONFIGURE MEASURE - LIMIT SETS configuration screen to edit limit-set parameters to meet your needs. Use the CONFIGURE MEASURE - OTHER SETTINGS configuration screen to define the best measurement settings (such as increment selection) for your current work practices.

When the screen cannot contain the entire list, a vertical scroll bar appears to the right of the list. Use the up/down arrows to scroll through the list. (This is possible only after the test is complete.)
