The scale factor indicates how many times each bit in the pattern is repeated. The default scale
factor
is 1. For example, a scale factor of 3 applied to the pattern defined above results in a
pattern of or 111000111000111000111000 (binary).
The command for creating a user-defined line type is:
Ec * m <pattern><scale>c
where <pat tern> is an integer in the range (-32768 to 32767) and <scale> is an integer in the
range (1 to 255).
Examp 1 e: Define a pattern to generate the following vector:
11111111110011001111111111001100
pattern = 11111010 = 250
scale
= 2
