IEEE-488 Reference
3-68
The parameter value for the digital pattern is determined by adding the decimal weights of the
desired output lines. For example, if you want output lines #2 and #3 to go true when the upper
limit of LIMIT 1 is the first failure in the test sequence, use a parameter value of 6 (2+4).
The actual true state (high or low) of each Digital Output line depends on its programmed po-
larity. Polarity is programmed from the OUTPut subsystem (see paragraph 3.17).
Note that when the binning strobe is enabled (see :BSTRobe command path), output line #4 is
not considered to be part of the digital output pattern. The binning strobe uses line #4. With the
binning strobe enabled, parameters 8 through 15 are treated the same as parameters 0 through 7.
:STATe <b>
:CALCulate3:LIMit[1]:STATe <b>
Control LIMIT 1 test
:CALCulate3:LIMit2:STATe <b>
Control LIMIT 2 test
Parameters
<b> = 1 or ON
Enable specified limit test
0 or OFF
Disable specified limit test
Query
:STATe?
Query state of specified limit test
Description
These commands are used to enable or disable LIMIT 1 and LIMIT 2 tests. When enabled, the
test sequence for limits will be performed every time the instrument performs a measurement.
Testing is performed in the following sequence: Low Limit 1, High Limit 1, Low Limit 2 and
High Limit 2. Any limit test (LIMIT 1 or LIMIT 2) not enabled is simply not performed.
Note that when a limit test (LIMIT 1 or LIMIT 2) is enabled, the digital output port cannot be
controlled from the Source Subsystem.
A fail indication (see :FAIL?) for LIMIT 1 or LIMIT 2 is cleared when the respective limit test
is disabled.
:FAIL?
:CALCulate3:LIMit[1]:FAIL?
Read LIMIT 1 test results
:CALCulate3:LIMit2:FAIL?
Read LIMIT 2 test results
These commands are used to read the results of LIMIT 1 and LIMIT 2 tests:
0 = Limit test passed
1 = Limit test failed
Description
The response message (0 or 1) only tells you if a limit test has passed or failed. It does not tell
you which limit (upper or lower) has failed. To determine which limit has failed, you will have
to read the Measurement Event Register (see paragraph 3.21.1).
Reading the results of a limit test does not clear the fail indication of the test. A failure can be
cleared by using a :CLEar command, or by disabling the test (:STATe OFF).
