Mask Test Menu
This instrument has been designed to perform communication industry mask
tests to a variety of test standards. Mask tests may be performed by following
a simple procedure. This procedure loads one of several standard mask
templates, automatically aligns the mask to the present waveform, and then
determines the waveform's compliance to the mask. The size of the mask, or
portions of the mask, can be increased or decreased in a linear fashion to
determine the waveform's margin of compliance. Both the user-dened and
standard (factory-installed) masks can be stored to disk for rapid switching
between instrument
setups.
In rmware
revision A.02.00
and above
, ve
mask
memories
are
available
internal
to
the instrument
to permit
custom
masks
to
be
stored
without
the
need
for
a oppy
drive.
Mask

also
activate
