a) Select "Show hits" to display the sample hits.
b) Set the "Show for" time or "Show hits forever".
c) Set the "Color" of the sample hits.
7. Define the color of the masks segments depending on the violation state:
● Mask without violation
● Mask with violation
● Mask with contact: this color shows that the edge of the mask segment was
touched. In this case, the resolution is not sufficient to detect if the mask was
really hit or not. Zoom into the concerned area to see the correct result.
10.4.4 Running a mask test
Before you can start a mask test, make sure that the mask setup is complete:
●
The mask is defined, see Chapter 10.4.1.1, "Creating user masks", on page 440
and Chapter 10.4.1.2, "Modifying user masks", on page 442.
●
The mask test is defined, see Chapter 10.4.2, "Setting up a mask test",
on page 445
●
The mask display is configured, see Chapter 10.4.3, "Configuring the mask and hit
display", on page 445.
You can perform continuous testing or test a specified number of acquisitions.
1. Open [App Cockpit] > "Analysis" tab > "Mask" > "Define Mask" tab.
2. Select "Enable".
If the acquisition is running, the test starts immediately.
3. If the acquisition is not running, press [Run Stop].
The test starts and runs until you stop the acquisition or the stop action is executed
if defined.
10.4.5 Saving and loading masks
Mask test definitions remain on the instrument until they are changed or deleted, or
[Preset] is performed. If you want to keep a mask test, you can save and reload them.
To save a mask
1. Open [App Cockpit] > "Analysis" tab > "Mask" > "Define Mask" tab.
2. To save the mask file in the current directory, change the file name if needed, and
tap "Save".
You can use the automatic file name generation, see Chapter 4.8.1, "Autonaming",
on page 127.
3. To select the directory and enter the file name, tap "Save As".
