Mask Test Commands
SSCReen:AREA
command. If the results of consecutive limit tests must be stored in different files, omit the <filename>
parameter and use the default filename instead. Each screen image will be saved in a different file named
MaskLimitScreenX.bmp, where X is an incremental number assigned by the instrument.
The filename field encodes the network path and the directory in which the file will be
saved, as well as the file format that will be used. The following is a list of valid filenames.
If a filename is specified without a path, the default path will be
D:\User Files\screen images
The default file type is a bitmap (.bmp). The following graphics formats are available by spec-
ifying a file extension: PCX files (.pcx), EPS files (.eps), Postscript files (.ps), JPEG (.jpg),
TIFF (.tif), and GIF files (.gif).
Query :MTESt:SSCReen?
The query returns the current state of the SSCReen command.
Returned Format [:MTESt:SSCReen] {OFF | DISK [,<filename>]}<NL>
Example 10 OUTPUT 707;”:MTESt:SSCREEN DISK”
SSCReen:AREA
Command :MTESt:SSCReen:AREA {GRATicule | SCReen}
This command selects which data from the screen is to be saved to disk when the run until
condition is met. When you select GRATicule, only the graticule area of the screen is saved
(this is the same as choosing Waveforms Only in the Specify Report Action for mask limit test
dialog box). When you select SCReen, the entire screen is saved.
Query :MTESt:SSCReen:AREA?
The query returns the current setting for the area of the screen to be saved.
