Query Syntax

:MEASure:MTESt{N}:MHITs?

{N} identifies a specific mask and must be a value from 1 to 16. For example, :MTESt2: selects mask 2.

Description

Returns the number of Total Margin Mask Violations reported in the Masks Tests results table during eye mask testing. For positive margins, this count does include any point within the standard mask area. For negative margins, this count only includes points within the margin but not outside the margin area into the standard mask area. To query the number of violations for a margin area associated with a specific mask region (as labeled on the display), use the :MEASure:MTESt:MHRegion command.

Measurement Ready?

To confirm that the measurement is ready to read, you can query the measurement's status:

if ('CORR' in Flex.query(':STATus?')):
	measurement = Flex.query('?')

If averaging is turned on (:ACQuire:AVERaging), you can also confirm if the measurement result is ready by comparing the number of specified averages (:ACQuire:ECOunt?) versus the number of measurement sweeps that have occurred (:COUNt?). The technique uses the :COUNt? common measurement query. For example,

if (Flex.query(':COUNt?') >= Flex.query(':ACQuire:ECOUNt?')):
	measurement = Flex.query('?')

You can also use an acquisition limit lest to test that a number of waveform samples, or pattern acquisitions have completed before returning a measurement. Refer to the :LTESt:ACQuire:CTYPe command.

Common Measurement Child Queries

This command supports the use of the following common measurement queries: :LOCation?, :COUNt?, :MAXimum?, :MINimum?, :MEAN?, and :SDEViation?.
