Usage
:CALCulate2:<function>:LIMit<Y>:STATe <state>
:CALCulate2:<function>:LIMit<Y>:STATe?
<function>
The measure function:
 Current: CURRent[:DC]
 Resistance: RESistance
 Voltage:
VOLTage[:DC]
<Y>
Limit number: 1 or 2
<state>
Disable the limit test: OFF or 0
Enable the limit test:
ON
or
1
Details
This command enables or disables a limit test for the selected measurement function. When this
attribute is enabled, the limit Y testing occurs on each measurement made by the instrument. Limit Y
testing compares the measurements to the high-limit and low-limit values. If a measurement falls
outside these limits, the test fails.
If you send this command without the <function> parameter, it sets the state of math operations
for all math functions.
Example
:CALC2:VOLT:LIM1:CLE:AUTO OFF
:CALC2:VOLT:LIM1:AUD FAIL
:CALC2:VOLT:LIM1:LOW 0.25
:CALC2:VOLT:LIM1:UPP 2.5
:CALC2:VOLT:LIMIT1:STAT ON
:READ?
:CALC2:VOLT:LIMIT1:FAIL?
: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.
