Limit Test Commands
(Requires TDS3LIM)
The Limit Test commands let you automatically compare each incoming
waveform against a template waveform. You set an envelope of limits around a
waveform and let the oscilloscope find the waveforms that fall outside those
limits. When it finds such a waveform, it can generate a hard copy, emit a beep,
save the waveform to memory, stop and wait for your input, or any combination
of these actions. Table 2--15 lists the limit test commands, which are only
available when a TDS3LIM Limit Test application module is installed in the
oscilloscope.
