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 floppy disk 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 will be 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

Setting Up Pass/Fail 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:

stop

audible alarm

print image of display

save waveform

Depending on your scope model, you can configure up to 8 pass/fail conditions. The Boolean
conditions to determine if your waveform passes are as follows:

All True

All False

Any True

Any False

All Q1 to Q4 Or All Q5 to Q8 Any Q1 to Q4 And Any Q5 to Q8

Setting Up Pass/Fail Testing

Initial Setup

1. Touch

Analysis in the menu bar, then Pass/Fail Setup... in the drop-down menu.

2. Touch

the

Actions tab.

3. Touch

the

Enable Actions checkbox. This will cause the actions that you will select to

occur upon your waveform's passing or failing a test.

4. Touch

the

Summary View to enable a line of text that shows concisely the status of your

last waveform and keeps a running count of how many sweeps have passed.
