CALCulate:LIMit Subsystem R&S ESCI
1166.6004.12 6.34 E-1
CALCulate<1|2>:LIMit<1 to 8>:LOWer:STATe ON | OFF
This command switches on or off the indicated limit line in the selected measurement window. The
limit check is activated separately with CALC:LIM:STAT ON.
In analyzer mode, the result of the limit check can be queried with CALCulate:LIMit<1 to
8>:FAIL?.
Example: "CALC:LIM4:LOW:STAT ON" 'Switches on limit line 4 (lower limit) in
'screen A.
"CALC2:LIM4:LOW:STAT ON" 'Switches on limit line 4 (lower limit) also in
'screen B.
Characteristics: *RST value: OFF
SCPI: conforming
Mode: A, FM
CALCulate<1|2>:LIMit<1 to 8>:LOWer:OFFSet <numeric_value>
This command defines an offset for the Y axis of the selected relative lower limit line. In contrast to
CALC:LIM:LOW:SHIFt, the line is not shifted by modifying the individual Y values but by means of
an additive offset. The offset is independent of the measurement window.
Example: "CALC:LIM2:LOW:OFFS 3dB" 'Shifts limit line 2 in the corresponding
'measurement windows by 3 dB upwards.
Characteristics: *RST value: 0
SCPI: device-specific
Mode: A, FM
CALCulate<1|2>:LIMit<1 to 8>:LOWer:MARGin <numeric_value>
This command defines a margin to a lower limit line, at which out-of-limit values are signalled (if the
limit check is active), but not handled as a violation of the limit value. The margin is independent of
the measurement window.
Only the unit dB is available in spectrum analysis mode.
Example: "CALC:LIM:LOW:MARG 10dB"
Characteristics: *RST value: 0
SCPI: device-specific
Mode: A, FM
CALCulate<1|2>:LIMit<1 to 8>:LOWer:MODE RELative | ABSolute
This command selects the relative or absolute scaling for the Y axis of the selected lower limit line.
The setting is independent of the measurement window.
Selecting RELative causes the unit to be switched to DB.
Example: "CALC:LIM:LOW:MODE REL" 'Defines the Y axis of limit line 2 as relative
'scaled.
Characteristics: *RST value: ABSolute
SCPI: device-specific
Mode: A, FM
