Mask 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.
"Eye"
Requires jitter option R&S RTP-K12.
The mask is created by selecting the shape and setting its dimen-
sions according to the test standard.
Remote command:
MTESt:CTYPe on page 1462

on page 428.
