As a consequence of the limit line rules, the limit check will always pass a DUT if no limit lines are defined.
File Format for Ripple Limit Lines
The analyzer uses a simple ASCII format to export ripple limit data. By default, the limit line file has the
extension *.ripple and is stored in the directory shown in the Save Ripple Limit and Recall Ripple Limit
dialogs. The file starts with a preamble containing the channel and trace name and the header of the
range list. The following lines contain the entries of all editable columns of the list.
Example of a limit line file

Channel Menu
The Channel menu provides all channel settings and the functions to activate, modify and store different
channels.
Channels
A channel contains hardware-related settings to specify how the network analyzer collects data. The
channel settings can be divided into three main groups:
• Control of the measurement process (Sweep, Trigger, Average)
• Description of the test setup (internal source power, IF filters and step attenuators)
• Correction data (Calibration, Offset)
