Limits File Contents

Limits may be exported into a data file with a .csv extension. They may be imported from that data file; they
may also be imported from a legacy limit file with a .lim extension. The .lim files meet the specification for
limit files contained in the EMI measurement guide, HP E7415A.
.csv file format
Except for information in quotes, limit line files are not case sensitive. Information in bold is required
verbatim; other text is example text, and italic text is commentary which should not be present in the file.
The first five lines are system-required header lines, and must be in the correct order.
The next few lines describe the parameters; on export they will be in the order shown, on import they can
be in any order. If some parameters are missing, they will revert to the default.

:MMEM:STOR:LIM LLINE2, "myLimitLine2.csv" saves the 2nd Limit Line to the file myLimitLine2.csv
in the current path. The default path is My Documents\EMI\data\xxx\limits where xxx is the
measurement name.
If the save is initiated via SCPI, and the file already exists, the file will be overwritten.
Using the C: drive is strongly discouraged, since it runs the risk of being overwritten during an
instrument software upgrade.
Both single and double quotes are supported for any filename parameter over SCPI.
This key will only appear if you have the proper option installed in your instrument.
