Setting Measurement Limits
You can configure the power meter to detect when a measurement is outside of a
predefined upper and/or lower limit value.
Limits are window or measurement display line based and can be applied to
power, ratio or difference measurements.
Setting Limits
The power meter can be configured to verify the power being measured against
an upper and/or lower limit value. The range of values that can be set for lower
and upper limits is –150.00 dBm to +230.00 dBm. The default upper limit is
+90.00 dBm and the default lower limit is –90.00 dBm.
A typical application for this feature is shown in Figure 1-4.
