Getting Started and Using Masks Telecommunications (telecom) and data communications (datacom) industries have established standards for equipment manufacturers. One of these standards defines the electrical parameters for waveforms. By applying these standards, both telecom and datacom equipment manufacturers can ensure that their equipment will operate properly together by first certifying waveform integrity.
Chapter 3 shows the standard masks supplied in the Mask Template Kit. Make a copy of the Mask Test disk A disk containing the standard masks is shipped with Infiniium Option 100 and E2625A. Before you install the Mask Test templates, you should make a copy of the Mask Test master disk and use the copy of the Mask Test disk for the installation.
Getting Started and Using Masks To install the Standard Masks To install the Standard Masks Use the copy of the Mask Test disk to install standard masks onto the Infiniium hard drive. The Mask Test disk contains many of the available standard masks that you may need to use during mask testing.
Getting Started and Using Masks To calibrate the oscilloscope To calibrate the oscilloscope Your Infiniium should be at optimum performance when performing mask testing. If your Infiniium has not been calibrated in the last year or if the Calibration ∆Temp is greater than ±5 °C, you should recalibrate the oscilloscope before performing a mask test.
Getting Started and Using Masks To choose a proper probe for Mask Testing To choose a proper probe for Mask Testing You can use any oscilloscope probe that fits your application. Depending on the type of waveform you are testing, you may need to use one of the probe adapters. Calibrating the probe adapter Depending on the requirements of your Telecom or Datacom industrial standard, you may need to use the E2622A 75 Ω...
Getting Started and Using Masks To get your waveform on the oscilloscope display To get your waveform on the oscilloscope display When doing mask testing, you will try to fit the mask to your waveform. This is how you will verify whether your waveform meets the acceptable electrical parameters defined by the standard mask.
