8.2.11 Limit and margin checks
Limit and margin checks evaluate whether the measurement result exceeds a specified
value. Violations are indicated by icons in the result box. Furthermore, you can define
actions that are performed on limit or margin violation, like saving the waveform or
measurement results.
The following results are considered in limit and margin checks:
●
All selected measurements.
●
All measured events in an acquisition: all results can initiate an action. However,
the icons in the result box indicate only violations of the first result.
●
Statistical results. Limit and margin violations of statistical results are indicated by
icons in the result box. These violations do not initiate an action.

8.2.11.1 Performing limit checks
1. On the "Meas" menu, select "Limit Check".
2. Select the subtab of the measurement you want to configure.
3. Under "Limit check", select "Limit only" to distinguish only between valid and non-
valid values.
Select "Margin&Limit" to check two values, where the margin is still valid, while the
limit is not.
4. Define the valid value range for the measurement.
The margins must always be within the valid value range. If necessary, the limit or
margin values are adapted to match the selected valid range.
See also "Upper limit, Lower limit, Upper margin, Lower margin, Valid range"
on page 393
5. Define what happens when the defined limits and margins are exceeded.
For each action, define when the instrument starts it:
● If the limits or margins are exceeded.
● If the measurement is completed without limit violations.
● Not at all.
If "Print" is selected, configure the print settings as described in Chapter 12.4.2,
"Printing screenshots", on page 506.
As a result of the limit check, the specified actions are performed and an icon indi-
cates the status in the result box.
