LIM
Syntax
LIM<D|L|M|S|U><num>[DB|HZ];
Description
These commands edit a limit test segment. The limit table editing is begun with
EDITLIML;, and a segment is brought up for editing with SEDI<num>; or added using
SADD;. The segment is closed with SDON;, the table is closed with EDITDONE;.
NOTE Currently these commands can be queried by sending the command followed
by the OUTPACTI command, as in the following example to query the upper
limit value:
10 OUTPUT 716;”LIMU;OUTPACTI;”
Future revisions of firmware may support the standard query form (which
currently always returns a zero) for these commands.
