	INPut:MASK:INTerrupt
Purpose	Enable or disable interrupt generation when changing MASKs
Type	Setting
Command Syntax	INPut:MASK:INTerrupt <boolean>
Command Parameters	<boolean> = 0 1 OFF ON
*RST Value	0
Query Syntax	INPut:MASK:INTerrupt?
Query Parameters	N/A
Query Response	ASCII numeric 0 or 1
Description	The INPut:MASK:INTerrupt command enables or disables interrupt generation when
	changing MASK values. When set to 0 (the *RST state), interrupts are temporarily
	disabled whenever MASK values are changed. When set to 1, interrupts are generated
	even as MASK values are changed.
	When a MASK is first enabled, an interrupt is generated if a channel is beyond its
	threshold. To create an interrupt when this occurs, set this command to 1.
	Example 1: If a channel is set for NORMal polarity and the channel’s input is higher
	than its threshold, an interrupt is generated. This interrupt will be ignored when
	INPut:MASK:INTerrupt is set to 0. Only when the channel’s input goes below its
	threshold, and then goes above the threshold for a period longer than the
	INPut:DEBounce time, will an interrupt be generated.
	Example 2: If a channel is set for NORMal polarity and the channel’s input is higher
	than its threshold, an interrupt is generated. This interrupt will be recognized when
	INPut:MASK:INTerrupt is set to 1. When the channel’s input goes below its threshold,
	and then goes above the threshold for a period longer than the INPut:DEBounce time,
	another interrupt will be generated.
Examples	Command / Query	Response (Description)
	INP:MASK:INT 1	(Enables interrupt generation while changing mask
		values)
