Mask Test Commands
SSCReen:IMAGe
SSCReen:IMAGe
Command :MTESt:SSCReen:IMAGe {NORMal | INVert | MONochrome}
This command saves the screen image to disk normally, inverted, or in monochrome. IMAGe
INVert is the same as choosing Invert Waveform Background Color in the Specify Report
Action for acquisition limit test dialog box.
Query :MTESt:SSCReen:IMAGe?
The query returns the current image setting.
Returned Format [:MTESt:SSCReen:IMAGe] {NORMal | INVert | MONochrome}<NL>
Example 10 OUTPUT 707;":MTEST:SSCREEN:IMAGE NORMAL"
SSUMmary
Command :MTESt:SSUMmary {OFF | DISK [,<filename>]}
This command saves the summary in the event of a failure.
When set to disk, the summary is written to the disk drive. The summary is a logging method
where the user can get an overall view of the test results. The summary is an ASCII file that
the user can read on the computer or place into a spreadsheet.
<filename> is an ASCII string enclosed in quotation marks. If no filename is specified, the
default filename will be MaskLimitSummaryX.sum, where X is an incremental number
assigned by the instrument. If a filename is specified without a path, the default path will be
D:\User Files\limit summaries. (C drive on 86100A/B instruments.)
NOTE If the summary of consecutive limit tests is to be stored in individual files, omit the <filename> parameter. Limit
test summaries will be stored in files named
MaskLimitSummaryX.sum, where X is an incremental number assigned by the instrument.
Query :MTESt:SSUMmary?
The query returns the current specified destination for the summary.
Returned Format [:MTESt:SSUMmary] {OFF | DISK {,<filename>}}<NL>
Examples The following example saves the summary to a disk file named TEST.sum.
10 OUTPUT 707;”:MTEST:SSUMMARY DISK,TEST”
STARt
Command :MTESt:STARt
This command aligns the currently loaded mask to the current waveform, and starts testing.
If no mask is currently loaded, a warning message will be displayed, but no error will be gen-
erated.
