In addition to stopping acquisitions when an error is detected as shown in
Figure 21, you can also save a waveform, save an image, print, or perform
specific measurements when an error is detected. Using the “Run Until”
selection, you can also set up mask testing to run for a specific number of
tests, minimum time, or minimum Sigma test criteria. Note that in
addition to creating a pass/fail mask using the auto- mask creation feature
as demonstrated in this lab, you can also import a mask based on industry
specifications, such as an eye- diagram mask, from a USB memory device.
These types of imported masks can be easily created within a standard
text editor, such as Notepad on your PC.
