:CALCulate3
These commands are used to configure and control the CALC3 limit test.
[:DATA] <n>
:CALCulate3:LIMit [1]:UPPer[:DATA] <n> Specify upper limit1
:CALCulate3:LIMit [1]:LOWEer[:DATA] <n> Specify lower limit
Parameters <n> = -100e6 to 100e6Specify limit value
DEFault Set specified upper limit to 1
Set specified lower limit to -1
MINimum Set specified limit to -100e6
MAXimum Set specified limit to +100e6
Description This command is used to specify the upper and lower limit for LIMIT1.
The actual limit depends on which measurement function is currently se-
lected. For example, a limit value of 1 is 1V for the volts functions (DCV
or ACV), 1A for the current functions (DCI or ACI), 1Ω on the ohms func-
tions (2 or 4), and 1 (C, F, or K) for the temperature function (TEMP). A
limit value is not range sensitive. A limit of 1 for DCV is 1V on all mea
-
surement ranges.
:STATE <b>
:CALCulate3:LIMit[1]:STATE <b> Control LIMIT1 test
Parameters <b> = 0 or off Disable limit test
1 or on Enable limit test
Query :STATe? Query state (on or off) of limit test
Description This command is used to enable or disable the LIMIT1 test. When en-
abled, the test sequence for limits will be performed every time the instru-

A failed indication (see :FAIL?) for LIMIT1 is cleared when the limit test is
disabled.
:FAIL?
:CALCulate3:LIMit[1]:FAIL? Read LIMIT1 test result

0 = Limit test failed
1= Limit test passed
