The mask is displayed in the color used for reference waveforms.
Once a mask has been defined, the copied envelope is kept in the instrument until the
next mask is defined or loaded. If you need more than one mask, you can save the
mask to internal storage and load it at a later time.
Mask testing results
The mask testing analyzes whether tested signal runs inside the mask. The overall test
result is shown in the mask window:
left column
= absolute number and percentage of acquisitions that passed the test
middle column = absolute number and percentage of acquisitions that violated the mask
right column
= number of tested acquisitions and test duration
During a mask test, various actions can be executed when mask violations occur: noti-
fication by a sound, stop of acquisition, saving a screenshot, saving the waveform
data, sending a pulse.

File format for masks: MSK
MSK is the specific binary format for masks of the R&S
RTM3000. It contains pairs of
amplitude values (in divisions) , their sample indexes and current instrument settings.
Thus, the amplitude values are not related to time and voltage. The mask data is saved
in the internal storage and can be loaded back when needed. The format is not inten-
ded for analysis outside the R&S
RTM3000.
