German term or phrase: Mast/Mastfenster
Projekteinstellungen werden in der *.fmp Datei gespeichert. Weitere Daten zu den erkannten oder importierten Masten werden dagegen in einer *_Data.xml Datei gespeichert. Für beide Dateien wird beim Öffnen eine Arbeitskopie mit den Endungen *.fmp.tmp bzw. *_Data.xml.tmp erstellt.
Änderungen an den Projekteinstellungen werden entweder automatisch z.B. beim Berechnen oder durch den Menüpunkt Datei/Speichern vorerst in die *.tmp Dateien geschrieben. Erst beim Schließen des Projektes werden die ursprünglichen *.fmp bzw. *_Data.xml Dateien durch die Arbeitskopien (*.tmp Dateien) überschrieben.
Es ist möglich, an mehr als zwei Stellen die Messkurve auf die Grunddaten zu synchronisieren. Dazu wird für einen beliebigen Mast das Mastfenster geöffnet und der „Synchr.“ Button gedrückt.
Eine Übersicht über die Synchronisationspunkte ist im Projektdialog auf dem Reiter Sync. Punkte zu finden (siehe Abbildung 7).

The text is generally simple but as it is a part of a much larger text and the client has no idea of what it is all about, I am looking for some help with the words Mast/Mastfenster. Any help is appreciated. The section that I have been asked to translate is titled Grunddaten für das Gleis erfassen. Cant provide any more context am afraid.
Thanks

mast / Mast window
Explanation:
As Coqueiro noted, this seems to be data for the track's mast spacing / dimensions and possibly overhead catenary wires.

See here: http://www.zusi.de/zusi3/zusi3oberleitung.htm

Something specifically for "Messkurve":
"Die Darstellung der einzelnen Setzungen und der dazugehörigen Messkurve werden jeweils in einer bestimmten Farbe dargestellt und lassen sich so unverwechselbar zuordnen."
+
"Anwendungsbereiche • Verkehrswegebau o z.B. Planum, Kanal-, Rohleitungs- und Gleisbau, Brückenhinterfüllung"
http://www.jaeger-pruefsysteme.de/index.html/dt leichtes fal...

It all fits together.


PS: I didn't capitalize the first "w" in "window" because it depends on whether "window" is going to be incorporated into the form's name.

There is indeed something called a "Mastfenster", as you can see here:
http://visual.merriam-webster.com/energy/hydroelectricity/el...

However, this is talking about (normal) electricity supply and I don't see how this could apply here.

Especially because your sentence...
Dazu wird für einen beliebigen Mast das Mastfenster geöffnet und der „Synchr.“ Button gedrückt.

...looks like one that could also be found in any other kind of business software, e.g., "Open the Sales Order window and press Synchronize".
