Mask Test Commands

:MTESt:AUTO

Command
:MTESt:AUTO {{ON | 1} | {OFF | 0}}
The :MTESt:AUTO command enables (ON) or disables (OFF) the Use File
Setup When Aligning control. This determines which type of mask
alignment is performed when the :MTESt:ALIGn command is sent. When
enabled, the oscilloscope controls are changed to the values which are
determined by the loaded mask file. This alignment guarantees that the
aligned mask and any subsequent mask tests meet the requirements of the
standard.
When disabled, the alignment is performed using the current oscilloscope
settings. This may be useful when troubleshooting problems during the
design phase of a project.
Example This example enables the Use File Settings When Aligning control.
