Creating a delay testing mask
A mask can be used to test the channel to channel delay of two input signals.
The shape of the mask varies depending on the channel 2 edge selected (stop
edge). Different masks are needed for different edge selections.
To test the channel to channel delay of the signal connected to channel 2, the
stop edge of the signal is tested instead of actually measuring the delay. The
test can be conducted by triggering on the start edge (channel 1), and testing
for the location of the stop edge (channel 2). An example mask is shown in
the following figure.
