NOTE
You can define a limit line that is able to freely overlap the stimulus range of another limit
line.
Defining one limit line having the same type as a second limit line whose stimulus range
overlaps with the first one results in two or more limit values at the same measurement
point. In this case, the limit value to be used in the limit test is defined as follows:
• When two or more limit values whose type is set to maximum (MAX) exist, the
smallest one is used as the maximum.
• When two or more limit values whose type is set to minimum (MIN) exist, the largest
one is used as the minimum.
NOTE
Even if the span of the sweep range on the E5070B/E5071B is set to 0, enter the two
parameters of Begin Stimulus and End Stimulus.
NOTE When two or more response values are returned as a result of using the Smith or polar chart
format, the first response value of the marker provides the object of the limit test.
