Description:
When limit testing is on, the specified trace is evaluated against the limits defined in its upper and lower
limit registers. If a trace specifier is not used, the command defaults to trace A. You can load these
registers via the GPIB using the CALC:LIM:LOW:SEGM and the CALC:LIM:UPP:SEGM commands or
the CALC:LIM:UPP:TRAC and CALC:LIM:LOW:TRAC commands.
To determine whether or not a trace is within the specified limits, you can send the CALC:LIM:FAIL
query or monitor the bits in the Limit Fail condition register. (For more information, see “Limit Fail
Register Set” in chapter 1.)
To return failed points on the X-axis, send the CALC:LIM:LOW:REP and the CALC:LIM:UPP:REP
queries. To return failed points on the Y-axis, send the CALC:LIM:LOW:REP:YDAT and the
CALC:LIM:UPP:REP:YDAT queries.
Note Limit lines are not automatically displayed when limit testing is enabled. To display
limits you must send DISPlay[:WINDow[1|2|3|4]]:LIMt:STATe ON.
