Enabling Limit Checking
Limit checking is enabled with the command:
CALCulate[1]:LIMit[:STATe] {OFF|ON}
CALCulate[1]:LIMit[:STATe]? (query form)
ON - enables limit checking.
OFF disables (bypasses) limit checking. Enabling limit checking enables both
lower and upper limit boundaries.
Setting Lower and Upper Limits
Lower and upper limits are set using the commands:
CALCulate[1]:LIMit:LOWer[:DATA] {<value>}|MINimum|MAXimum|
DEFault}
CALCulate[1]:LIMit:LOWer[:DATA]? |MINimum|MAXimum| DEFault}
(query form)
CALCulate[1]:LIMit:UPPer[:DATA] {<value>}|MINimum|MAXimum|
DEFault}
CALCulate[1]:LIMit:UPPer[:DATA]? |MINimum|MAXimum| DEFault}
(query form)
The lower limit and upper limit value ranges are:
-1.0E+15 to -1.0E-15, 0.0, 1.0E-15 to 1.0E+15
The default limits and the limits set following a reset (*RST) or instrument
preset (SYSTem:PRESet) are 0.0.
When using limits, both a lower limit and an upper limit must be specified.
Any of the following steps will prevent a “settings conflict” error (e.g. lower
limit greater than upper limit) due to the order in which limits are set:
• setting the upper limit first
