Serial Mask Testing
The instrument provides a portfolio of masks (optional on the TDS7000 Series &
TDS6000 Series) for verifying compliance to optical and electrical standards.
You can verify circuit design performance and perform interface compliance
testing. Mask testing results are reported live, providing real time feedback.
Mask hits are highlighted on the display and accompanied by readouts indicating
the number of waveforms tested, pass/fail results, and hit counts.

If the Bessel-Thompson filter is on, the instrument is an optical reference
receiver.
For detailed information on using Serial Mask Testing to test your signals for
compliance to optical and electrical standards see the CSA7000, TDS7000 &
TDS6000 Series Option SM Serial Mask Testing and Option ST Serial Trigger-
