To create or edit a mask using line segments
The Measurement/Storage Module has a built-in Mask Editor for creating or
editing masks. It provides two editing tools: pixel editing and line drawing
editing. The line drawing editing tool can also be used to create a mask using
line segments.
To create the mask, you may want to first draw the mask on a piece of paper
and mark the coordinates of the end points of each straight line.

Selecting smoothing numerous times can alter the desired mask
pattern.
