ACI), 1 Ω on the ohms functions ( Ω 2 or Ω 4), and 1° (C, F or K) for the temperature function
(TEMP). A limit value is not range sensitive. A limit of 2 for DCV is 2V on all measurement
ranges. Note that limit tests cannot be performed on frequency (FREQ) measurements.

These commands are used to specify which line(s) of the Digital Output Port will go true when
a limit test failure occurs. The first failure in the test sequence determines the digital output pat-
tern. Subsequent failures in the test sequence will not change the digital output pattern on the
output port.
Each output line is assigned a decimal weight as follows:
Digital Output Decimal Weight
Line #1 1
Line #2 2
Line #3 4
Line #4 8
The parameter value for the digital pattern is determined by adding the decimal weights of the
desired output lines. For example, if you want output lines #2 and #3 to go true when the upper
limit of LIMIT 1 is the first failure in the test sequence, use a parameter value of 6 (2+4).
The actual true state (high or low) of each Digital Output line depends on its programmed po-
larity. Polarity is programmed from the OUTPut subsystem (see paragraph 3.16).
Note that when the binning strobe is enabled (see :BSTRobe command path), output line #4 is
not considered to be part of the digital output pattern. The binning strobe uses line #4. With the
binning strobe enabled, parameters 8 through 15 are treated the same as parameters 0 through 7.
