summary... The
summary
is
a
log
of
the
mask
test
data
from
failed
test
results
.
There
are
two
parts
to
the
summary
.
The
rst
part
is a
header
that
is
a
running
total
of
the
number
of
failures
.
The
second
part
is the
log
of
the
results
on
each
failure
.
When
a
failure
does
not
occur
during
a
set
of
measurements
,
the
header
information
is
updated
to
show
that
the
measurements
passed,
but
the
results
are
not
logged
to
the
summary
le
unless
a
failure
occurred.
When
the
screen
or a waveform is logged to a disk, a line is added to the summary le that
indicates the lename.
There is usually one summary le for the mask test.
