Masking

Channels in the

Compare Image

HP 16510B Front-Panel Reference

The channel masking function allows you to specify a bit, or bits in each label that you do not want compared. This causes the corresponding bits in all states to be ignored in the comparison. The compare data image itself remains unchanged on the display. The Mask fields are directly above the label and base fields at the top of both the Compare and Difference listings (see figure 9-2). When you select one of these fields a pop-up appears in which you specify which channels are to be compared and which channels are to be masked. A "." (period) indicates a don’t compare mask for that channel and an "*" (asterisk) indicates that channel is to be compared.
