Details
This command queries the result of a limit test for the selected measurement function.
The response message indicates if the limit test passed or how it failed (on the high or low limit).
If autoclear is set to off, reading the results of a limit test does not clear the fail indication of the test.
To clear a failure, send the clear command. To automatically clear the results, set auto clear on.
If auto clear is set to on and you are making a series of measurements, the last measurement limit
determines the fail indication for the limit. If auto clear is turned off, the results return a test fail if any
of one of the readings failed.
To use this attribute, you must set the limit state to on.
The results of the limit test for limit
Y
:
•
NONE
: Test passed; the measurement is between the upper and lower limits
•
HIGH
: Test failed; the measurement exceeded the upper limit
•
LOW
: Test failed; the measurement exceeded the lower limit
•
BOTH
: Test failed; the measurement exceeded both limits
