Import Path Loss Clear Path Loss Table – Remove any active
Import Limit Lines Import Limit Line Table – Import a set of limit lines which
then the incoming trace is tested against. Limit lines are two lines across the span which
defines an acceptable amplitude region for a trace. You can specify a maximum limit or a
maximum and minimum set. See Additional Features: Importing Path Loss and Limit
Line Tables for more information.
Import Limit Lines Clear Limit Line Table – Remove the active limit line traces.
Connect Device – If no device is connected, this option will attempt to connect to the
