Abstract:
1. An analysis device for analyzing a signal characteristic with a mask, wherein the signal characteristic is represented graphically by a signal image and wherein the mask is represented graphically by a mask image, said analysis device comprising: a buffer device configured to provision a signal-image address of a signal-image point of the signal image and configured to provision a mask-image address of a mask-image point of the mask image, and to provide a further mask-image address of a further mask-image point; and a comparison device configured to compare the signal-image address with the mask-image address and with the further mask-image address in order to determine an arrangement of signal-image point with reference to the mask-image point and with reference to the further mask-image point, wherein the analysis device determines on the basis of the comparison, whether the signal-image point is disposed inside or outside the mask range between the mask-image point and the further mask-image point.
