MODEM CTL MASK [M]
A modem control mask is a template
created to match a particular set of
modem control signals. The modem
control masks can be used to
start/stop a timer or begin/end data
capture.
When the 232 Monitor Plus senses
modem control signals identical to
the masks you set up, it will start or
stop the timer. See the descriptions
for the commands SET TRIGGER
(p. 16) and TIME EVENTS (p. 19)
for more information on masks.
If you are in the View Mode, press
[M] to create or edit a modem
control signal mask (see the sample
