Details
Use this command to clear the test results of limit Y when the limit auto clear option is turned off. Both
the high and low test results are cleared.
To avoid the need to manually clear the test results for a limit, turn the auto clear option on.
Example
smu.digitize.func = smu.FUNC_DIGITIZE_VOLTAGE
smu.digitize.limit[1].clear()
Set the digitize function to voltage.
Clear the results of limit test 1.

Details
This command enables or disables a limit test for the selected digitize function. When this attribute is
enabled, the limit Y testing occurs on each measurement made by the instrument. Limit Y testing
compares the measurements to the high and low limit values. If a measurement falls outside these
limits, the test fails.
Example
This example enables limits 1 and 2 for digitize voltage measurements. Limit 1 is checking for
readings to be between 3 and 5 V, while limit 2 is checking for the readings to be between 1 and 7 V.
The auto clear feature is disabled, so if any reading is outside these limits, the corresponding fail is 1.
Therefore, if any one of the fails is 1, analyze the reading buffer data to find out which reading failed
the limits.
