:CALC2:VOLT:LIM1:CLE
Set limit autoclear off.
Enable the beeper for limit 1 when a voltage measurement
exceeds the limit.
Set lower limit 1 for voltage to 0.25 V.
Set upper limit 1 for voltage to 2.5 V.
Enable limit 1 testing for voltage.
Make a reading; the limit is checked and results display on the
front panel.
Return the test results; example output if the test fails on the
low limit:
LOW
Clear the test results.

Details
When auto clear is set to on, limit conditions are cleared automatically after each measurement. If
you are making a series of measurements, the instrument shows the limit test result of the last
measurement for the pass or fail indication for the limit.
If you want to know if any of a series of measurements failed the limit, set the auto clear setting to off.
When this is set to off, a failed indication is not cleared automatically. It remains set until it is cleared
with the clear command.
The auto clear setting affects both the high and low limits.
