A Device with Limit Lines
Limit testing is a measurement technique that compares measurement data to constraints that
you define. Depending on the results of this comparison, the analyzer will indicate if your
device either passes or fails the test.
Limit testing is implemented by creating individual flat, sloping, and single point limit lines on
the analyzer display. When combined, these lines can represent the performance parameters
for your device under test. The limit lines created on each measurement channel are
independent of each other.
This example measurement shows you how to test a
filter using the following
procedures:

Setting Up the Measurement Parameters
1. Connect your test device as shown in Figure 2-40.

2. Press and choose the measurement settings. For this example the measurement
settings are as follows:
You may want to select settings for the number of data points, power, averaging, and IF
bandwidth.
3. Substitute a thru for the device and perform a response calibration by pressing:
