Enable test
Activates and deactivates the mask test. If the acquisition is running, the test starts
immediately. Otherwise, the test starts when acquisition is started.
The testing is stopped when acquisition is stopped, or if a stop action is configured with
"Stop acq." on page 433.
Closing the result box also disables the mask test.
Remote command:
MTESt[:STATe] on page 1332
Source
Selects the waveform to be tested against the mask. All channel waveforms can be
tested.
Remote command:
MTESt:SOURce on page 1333
Definition Type
Sets the method of mask definition.
"User"
The mask is created manually by tapping the mask points on the
touch screen and/or by entering the numerical x- and y-values of the
mask points.
"Waveform"
The mask is created from an existing waveform. The waveform builds
the upper and lower limit line of the mask, and the limits are moved
and stretched. The result is a tolerance tube around the waveform
that is used as mask.
Remote command:
MTESt:CTYPe on page 1334
Fail condition, Violation tolerance
The fail criteria for a mask test is set by two parameters: "Fail condition" and "Violation
tolerance".
"Fail condition" defines the kind of hits to be considered for test evaluation:
●
"Samples": Considers the number of samples that hit the mask.
●
"Acquisitions": Considers the number of acquisitions that contain at least one sam-
ple hit. It is not relevant how many samples hit the mask in that acquisition.
"Violation tolerance" sets the number of tolerable sample hits or acquisition hits.
A test has failed if the number of sample hits or acquisition hits exceeds the limit of vio-
lation tolerance hits.
Example:
The example test has failed when the sixth acquisition violated the mask.
