Figure 7-26: Behavior for overlapping masks
●
For the ranges in which multiple limit lines are significant, a range-specific function
determines the behavior of the limit check
Limit calculation for individual ranges
For each range a function can be defined that determines the behavior of the limit
check if there are multiple limit lines:
●
"NONE"
: In reference ranges no limit check is performed;
Reference ranges always use the function "NONE" .
For other ranges, see the combinations for overlapping ranges below.
●
"SUM"
: sum of the two limit lines (calculated for linear powers) is used
●
"MAX"
: maximum of the two limit lines is used
This leads to the following
combinations for overlapping ranges
:
●
"MAX" + "MAX"
: maximum of the two limit lines is used
●
"MAX" + "SUM"
: maximum of the two limit lines is used
●
"SUM" + "SUM"
: sum of the two limit lines (calculated for linear powers) is used
●
"NONE" + "MAX"
/
"NONE" + "SUM"
: limit line (and parameters) of the "NONE"
range are ignored
●
"NONE" + "NONE"
: depends on the position of the overlapping ranges in relation
to the mid-frequency between the two neighboring sub blocks:
–
Overlap is completely
below
the mid-frequency: limits and parameters of the
left sub block are used
–
Overlap is completely
above
the mid-frequency: limits and parameters of the
right sub block are used
–
Overlap crosses the mid-frequency: new subranges are created: one to the left
of the mid-frequency, one to the right of the mid-frequency. The left subrange
uses the limits and parameters of the left sub block, the right subrange uses
the limits and parameters of the right sub block.
