R&S FSP Instrument Functions
Basic Settings
Name and Compatible - Enabling limit lines
A maximum of 8 limit lines can be enabled at any one time. In split screen mode,
they may be assigned to screen A, screen B or to both screens. A check mark at the
left edge of a cell indicates that this limit line is enabled.
A limit line can only be enabled when it has a check mark in the Compatible column,
i.e. only when the horizontal display (time or frequency) and vertical scales are iden-
tical to those of the display in the measurement window.
Lines with the unit dB are compatible to all dB(..) settings of the y-axis.
If the scale of the y-axis or the domain (frequency or time axis) are changed, all non-
compatible limit lines are automatically switched off in order to avoid misinterpreta-
tion. The limit lines must be enabled anew when the original display is re-displayed.
Remote command:
CALC:LIM3:NAME "GSM1"
CALC:LIM3:UPP:STAT ON
CALC:LIM4:LOW:STAT ON
Limit Check - Activate automatic limit violation check
When LIMIT CHECK ON is activated, a GO/NOGO test is performed in the active
screen. In the center of the diagram, a display window appears which indicates the
results of the limit check test:
The following example shows two active limit lines:
A check for violations of limit lines takes place only if the limit line of the assigned
measurement curve (trace) is enabled.
If LIM CHECK is set to OFF for all active limit lines, then the limit line check is not
executed and the display window is activated.
Remote command:
CALC:LIM:STAT ON
INIT;*WAI
CALC:LIM:FAIL?
Compatible Indicates if the limit line is compatible with the measurement
window of the given trace.
Limit Check Activate automatic violation check for upper/lower limits.
