Set Off t
or the test to run a s ingle time and not repeat.
Mask Polarity
Set the m
ask polarity to use during the test. W hen Both is selected, the test will run

Quick Tips
Use Average acquisition mode to create a smoother, cleaner limit test mask.
If you want to re-use the mask later, save it to a file by selecting Set Up Mask from the lower menu and Save Mask
to File from the resulting side-bezel menu.
To simplify the setup of the test source, save the oscilloscope setup so that late r you can quickly reload the s ettings to
correctly display the test source for limit tes ting.
Have the mask automatically re-scale with the source channel setting changes by selecting Set Up Mask from the lower
menu and Lock to Source as On with the resulting side-bezel menu.
The math waveform is not available when using mask testing.
