Creating and Saving Complex Limits
A complex limit is one with multiple segments that allow the user to change the limit at, for
example, different points in time along a GSM burst. Each segment within the complex
limit is defined by specifying a point in time relative to the trigger point and an associated
power level. Complex limits cannot be used in CW mode.
Note: Once created and saved in the manner described below, the user can recall any of
the limit specifications and use the time and amplitude offset items to shift the limit lines to
a different time or amplitudinal position on the trace. Refer to Recalling User or
Predefined Complex Limits.
1. Press the Channel hard key followed by the More soft key.

Note: The upper and lower values specified in the [Edit Limit Specification] dialog are
unitless and reference the units specified in the [Channel Set Up] dialog. Refer to Setting
the Units of Measurement earlier in this chapter.

first segment. Repeat this process until all the required segments have been
