CALCulate:LIMit:LOWer[:STATe]

CALCulate[<channel>]:LIMit:LOWer[:STATe] OFF 0 ON 1 enables the lower limit checking for the specified channel. Use :LIMit:LOWer: DATA <value> to set the actual limit value to be tested against. This command returns the voltage level measured and the detection mode.

A returned value of “0” indicates the specified channel is disabled for lower limit checking. “1” returned indicates the specified channel is enabled and will detect signals below the specified lower limit.

Comments Executable When Initiated: YES

Coupled command: YES. Setting the lower state ON will cause

LIMit:UPPer[:STATe] to be set OFF (if it is ON).

Lower Limit Enable Error: An error will be generated if you have TRIG:SOURce set to INT1-4 and the internal input is the same as the channel you are attempting to enable for lower limit testing. For example, assume TRIG:SOUR INT2 is set. The trigger level from channel 2 is the trigger event that is the internal trigger input. CALC:LIMit:LOWer:

STATe ON is attempting to use this signal for limit testing and creates a settings conflict. Either the trigger level can be used as an internal trigger or the level can be used in limit testing, but not both.

Reset (*RST) Condition: OFF

CALCulate:LIMit:LOWer[:STATe]?

CALCulate[<channel>]:LIMit:LOWer[:STATe]? queries the lower limit checking state to see if it is enabled or disabled for the specified channel. “1” returned indicates the specified channel is enabled for lower limit checking. “0” returned indicates the specified channel is disabled for lower limit checking.

CALCulate:LIMit:UPPer:DATA

CALCulate[<channel>]:LIMit:UPPer:DATA <value> MIN MAX sets the upper limit value you want to test against. CALCulate:LIMit:FAIL? will return a “1” following the measurement (and prior to the next measurement) if the input signal rose above the specified upper limit value and LIM:UPP:STATe is ON. A “0” is returned if the limit was not exceeded.
