Setting Measurement Limits
You can configure the U8480 Series to detect when a measurement is outside of a 
predefined upper and/or lower limit value.
Setting limits 
The U8480 Series 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.
Figure 1-9 Limits checking results
The U8480 Series can be configured to verify the measurement in either Watts (W) 
or dBm against the predefined upper and/or lower limit values. The upper and 
lower limits can be set using the CALCulate[1]:LIMit:UPPer[:DATA] and 
CALCulate[1]:LIMit:LOWer[:DATA] commands respectively. The range of 
values that can be set for the limits and default values depends on the 
measurement unit that is currently selected (refer to Table 1-3).
