12Set pass/fail limits for 
each offset. 
• Press Meas Setup, 
Offset/Limits, Offset, A, 
More, Rel Limit (Car), 
−55, dB, Offset, B, Rel 
Limit (Car), −75, dB, 
Offset, C, Rel Limit (Car), 
−60, dB.
13Turn the limit test on. • Press Meas Setup, More, 
Limit Test (On).
In Figure 9-5 notice that offsets A and 
C have passed, however offset B has 
failed. Power levels that fall above our 
specified –75 dB for offset B, fail. The 
offset bar graph and the associated 
power level value are shaded red to 
identify a failure. The offset limits are 
shown as dashed lines.
