Limit Fail? (Remote Command Only)
Tests a limit line against its associated meter. Returns a 0 if the meter is within the limit, a 1 if the meter
exceeds either limit.
Note that this command only tests one limit line – other limit lines are not tested when executing this
command. To see whether meters passed all limits, use :CALCulate:METer:LIMit:ALL:FAIL?.
Note that this command performs the test regardless of whether the meter or the limit is turned on, on the
display.
