Limit On/Off
Selects whether the limit and margin are displayed. If Test Limits is on, this also determines whether the
test trace (see "Test Trace" on page
occurs:
• The limit line is displayed, in the same color, but paler, as the limited trace. Portions of traces that fail
the limits will be displayed in red.
• The margin line is displayed if Margin is on and the Margin Value is non-zero (see
The margin line is displayed in the same color as the limit line, but paler still and dashed. Portions of
traces that pass the limits but fail the margin will be displayed in amber.
• The trace is tested for the purpose of the "Trace Pass/Fail"indication in the graticule if, in addition to
Limit On/Off being On, the trace is displayed and Test Limits (All Limits) is on (see
on page 496). If the trace is not tested, no report of the trace passing or failing is seen on the graticule.
Note that the SCPI queries of Limit Pass/Fail are independent of these conditions. The test is always
performed when queried over SCPI.
The PASS/FAIL box in the corner of the Meas Bar is only displayed if there is at least one "Trace Pass/Fail"
indication displayed in the graticule.
Note that the red and amber coloring of traces that fail the limits and/or margins only applies to traces
whose X-axis corresponds to the current analyzer X-axis. Traces that are not updating (in View, for
example) will not change color if the analyzer X-axis settings (e.g., start and stop frequency) do not match
those of the trace, for example if they have been changed since the trace stopped updating. In this case,
the Invalid Data indicator (*) will appear in the upper right corner.
