Configuring Limit Lines
The Limit Test feature of the E5061A/E5062A allows you to create up to 100 upper/lower
limit lines on each trace and then determine the pass/fail status of the measured data.
When you manually configure limit lines, you must add each segment (limit line) to the
limit table, and define various conditions that apply to the specific segment. On the other
hand, when you use an external controller to configure limit lines, you can use the
following command to define all the segment conditions (all limit lines) in the active table
trace at once.
• :CALC{1-4}:LIM:DATA on page 233
Alternatively, you can configure limit lines based on the data contained in a CSV file by
issuing the following command:
• :MMEM:LOAD:LIM on page 348
Also, you can save the contents of the current limit table to a file by issuing the following
command:
• :MMEM:STOR:LIM on page 358
Showing/Hiding Limit Lines
To turn on or off limit lines, use the following command:
• :CALC{1-4}:LIM:DISP on page 235
Even when limit lines are hidden, the system performs limit test if the Limit Test feature is
on.
To show or hide the part that is not used for evaluation, use the following command:
• :CALC{1-4}:LIM:DISP:CLIP on page 236
Turning On or Off the Limit Test Feature
To turn on or off the Limit Test feature, use the following command:
• :CALC{1-4}:LIM on page 232
Showing/Hiding “Fail”
To turn on or off the “Fail” which is displayed at the center of the window when the test
result for the channel is “fail,” use the following command:
• :DISP:FSIG on page 313
