This command sets or returns the nominal bit width in seconds. The query form
of this command returns the bit width value of the displayed mask. The set form
of this comma
nd only affects the current (displayed) mask.

MASK:MASKPRE:TRIGTOSAMP
Arguments
<NR3> is a floating point number that sets the nominal bit width in seconds. This
number is the time of one bit of data where bit width = 1 / ( data rate of the signal ).
Examples
MASK:MASKPRE:WIDTH 648E-9 sets the current mask nominal bit width to
648 nanoseconds (1.544 Mbits/second).
MASK:MASKPRE:WIDTH? might return :MASK:MASKPRE:WIDTH 500.0000E–9,
indicating that the bit width value of the displayed mask is set to 500 nanoseconds.
MASK:POLarity
This command sets or returns the input waveform polarity for the pass/fail test.
It con
trols whether to test positive pulse, negative pulse, or both during pass/fail
testing. This command only applies when MASK:TESt:STATE is on.

MASK:TESt:STATE
Arguments
BOTh enables testing for both positive and negative pulses. The instrument tests
positive pulses on the mask:source waveform until ½ of the waveform has been
tested. Then the instrument inverts the mask and performs the remaining tests.
NEGAtive enables testing on negative pulses.
