Mask Tests

You have the choice to do mask testing by using an existing mask, or by using a
mask created from your actual waveform, with vertical and horizontal
tolerances that you define. Existing masks can be loaded from a USB memory
stick or from a network.

You can set your mask test to be True for waveforms All In, All Out, Any In, or
Any Out. For example, if you select All In, the test is False if even a single
waveform falls outside the mask.

Masks that you create from your waveform can be confined to just a portion
of the trace by use of a measure gate. (See Measure Gate for an explanation of
how this feature works.)

Actions

By touching the Stop Test checkbox in the Actions dialog, you can set up the
test to end after a predetermined number of sweeps that you decide.

You can also decide the actions to occur upon your waveforms' passing or
failing, by selecting one or all of the following:

Save

Saves the waveform to the location that you specify.

Stop

Stops the test.

Alarm

Emits a beep.

Pulse

Emits a variable width and amplitude pulse.

Hardcopy

Prints an image of the display, saves it to file, or
sends an e-mail.

The selection Pulse causes a pulse to be output through the Aux Out
connector at the front of the oscilloscope. This pulse can be used to trigger
another oscilloscope. You can set the amplitude and width of the pulse as
described in Auxiliary Output Signals under Utilities.
