Current:
CURRent[:DC]
Resistance:
RESistance
Voltage:
VOLTage[:DC]

Details
This command enables or disables a limit test for the selected measurement function. When this
attribute is enabled, the limit
Y
testing occurs on each measurement made by the instrument. Limit
Y
testing compares the measurements to the high-limit and low-limit values. If a measurement falls
outside these limits, the test fails.
If you send this command without the
<function>
parameter, it sets the state of math operations
for all math functions.
Example
:CALC2:VOLT:LIM1:CLE:AUTO OFF
:CALC2:VOLT:LIM1:AUD FAIL
:CALC2:VOLT:LIM1:LOW 0.25
:CALC2:VOLT:LIM1:UPP 2.5
:CALC2:VOLT:LIMIT1:STAT ON
:READ?
:CALC2:VOLT:LIMIT1:FAIL?
:CALC2:VOLT:LIM1:CLE
Set limit autoclear off.
Enable the beeper for limit 1 when a voltage measurement
exceeds the limit.
Set lower limit 1 for voltage to 0.25 V.
Set upper limit 1 for voltage to 2.5 V.
Enable limit 1 testing for voltage.
Make a reading; the limit is checked and results display on the
front panel.
Return the test results; example output if the test fails on the
low limit:
LOW
Clear the test results.
