2-18 Limit Menu
Limit lines can be used for visual reference only, or for pass/fail criteria using the limit alarm.
Limit alarm failures are reported whenever a signal crosses the limit line.
Each limit line can consist of a single segment, or as many as 40 segments across the entire
frequency span of the instrument. These limit segments are retained regardless of the current
frequency span of the instrument, allowing the configuring of specific limit envelopes at
various frequencies of interest without having to re-configure them each time the frequency is
changed. To clear the current limit setup configuration and return to a single limit segment
starting at the current start frequency and ending at the current stop frequency, press the
Clear Limit submenu key.
Key Sequence: Shift > Limit (5) key
Limit On/Off: This key toggles limit lines On or Off.
Single Limit: This key create a single segment limit line. The amplitude of
the limit line is adjusted with the arrow keys, rotary knob, or the numeric
keypad.
Multi-Segment Edit: The “Limit Edit Menu” on page 2-37 is displayed to
allow the creation or editing of single or multi-segment limit lines. The
currently active limit point is marked by a red circle on the display.
Limit Alarm: This submenu key selects, for the currently active limit line, if
an alarm beep will occur when a data point exceeds the limit.
Clear Limit: This submenu key deletes all limit points for the currently
active limit line.
