PSO-200

Using Pattern Masks

To activate and select masks:
1.
From the Settings menu, select Acquisition.

2. Under the Analysis tab, select the desired mask types and masks.

The drop-down lists correspond to available mask definition files,
either provided with the application or custom-made.

3. Click Apply to confirm your settings, or OK to also close the window.

Note: The eye period is automatically set to 1 (and cannot be changed) when an

intensity or EVM mask is active, no matter if masks are actually shown.

To show or hide masks on the graphs:
1.
From the Display menu, select Masks > Show/Hide Masks.

2. Optionally select Highlight points in masks in the same menu. Points

in error will be displayed in bright red.

Note: You can show or hide masks at any time, even while an acquisition is in

progress. All masks are shown or hidden at once.
