measurement meets preset criteria.

Usage
:TRIGger:BLOCk:BRANch:LIMit:CONStant <blockNumber>, <limitType>, <limitA>,
<limitB>, <branchToBlock>, <measureBlock>
<blockNumber>
The sequence of the block in the trigger model
<limitType>
The type of limit (
ABOVe
,
BELow
,
INside
, or
OUTside
)
<limitA>
The limit that the measurement is tested against; if
limitType
is set to:
•
ABOVe
: This value is ignored
•
BELow
: The measurement must be below this value
•
INside
: This is the low limit that the measurement is compared against
•
OUTside
: This is the low limit that the measurement is compared against
<limitB>
The upper limit that the measurement is tested against; if
limitType
is set to:
•
ABOVe
: The measurement must be above this value
•
BELow
: This value is ignored
•
INside
: This is the high limit that the measurement is compared against
•
OUTside
: This is the high limit that the measurement is compared against
<branchToBlock>
The block number of the trigger model block to execute when the measurement
meets the defined criteria
<measureBlock>
The block number of the measurement block that makes the measurement to be
compared
Details
The branch-on-constant-limits block goes to a branching block if a measurement meets the criteria set by this
command.
The type of limit can be:
•
Above: The measurement is above the value set by limit B. Limit A must be set, but is ignored when this
type is selected.
•
Below: The measurement is below the value set by limit A. Limit B must be set, but is ignored when this
type is selected.
•
Inside: The measurement is inside the values set by limits A and B. Limit A must be the low value and
Limit B must be the high value.
•
Outside: The measurement is outside the values set by limits A and B. Limit A must be the low value
and Limit B must be the high value.
The measurement block must be a measurement building block that occurs in the trigger model before the
branch-on-constant-limits block. The last measurement from the measurement building block is used.
