To set the mask test output condition
1 In the Mask Test menu ([Utility] > Mask Test), press Output.
2 Continue pressing the Output softkey to select the desired output
condition:
The output condition can be used:
• To stop a running mask test.
• As a source for the waveform recording function (see
“Recording/Playing- back Waveforms” on page 80).
• As a signal on the oscilloscope back panel’s isolated Mask Pass/Fail out
BNC.
The Mask Pass/Fail out circuit uses optical isolation. An external circuit
is required to use the signal. Before connecting to an external circuit,
make sure the maximum voltage/current does not exceed
400 V/100 mA. The output device has no polarity limit and can be
connected arbitrarily.
Fail A mask failure sets the output.
Fail +
A mask failure sets the output and causes a beep.
Pass A passing waveform sets the output.
Pass +
A passing waveform sets the output and causes a beep.
