Limit Test Commands
The Limit Test commands let you automatically compare each incoming
waveform against a template waveform. You set an envelope of limits around a
waveform and let the digitizing oscilloscope find the waveforms that fall outside
those limits. When it finds such a waveform, it can generate a hardcopy, ring a
bell, stop and wait for your input, or any combination of these actions.
Table 2–14 lists these commands.
