SCPI Command Reference 6

CALCulate Subsystem

This subsystem is used to perform post- acquisition data processing. In effect, the collection of new data triggers the CALCulate subsystem. This subsystem is further divided into two subsections: limits and markers which are the primary functions in this subsystem.

Limit Line Subsection

An N9340A allows you to define a limit line for your measurement. You can then have the instrument compare the data to your defined limit and indicate a pass/fail condition.

Refer to TRACe subsystem for more trace commands.

Delete All Limit Lines in Memory

:CALCulate:LLINe:ALL:DELete

This command clears all limit lines in volatile memory.

Key access:

[Limit] > {Limit Mode}

Select the Type of Limit Line

:CALCulate:LLINe[1]:TYPE UPPerLOWer

:CALCulate:LLINe[1]:TYPE?

This command sets a limit line to be either an upper or lower type. An upper line will be used as the maximum allowable value when comparing with the data. A lower limit line defends the minimum value.
