Serial Mask Testing
The instrument provides a portfolio of masks (optional on the TDS7000B Series)
for verifying compliance to optical and electrical standards. You can verify
circuit design performance and perform interface compliance testing. Mask
testing results are reported live, providing real time feedback. Mask hits are
highlighted on the display and accompanied by readouts indicating the number
of waveforms tested, pass/fail results, and hit counts.

If the Bessel-Thompson filter is on, the instrument is an optical reference
receiver.
For detailed information on using Serial Mask Testing to test your signals for
compliance to optical and electrical standards see the CSA7000B & TDS7000B
Option SM Serial Mask Testing and Option ST Serial Triggering User Manual.
