Setting Measurement Limits

Setting Measurement Limits
You can configure the power meter to detect when a measurement is
outside of a predefined upper and/or lower limit value.
Limits are window or measurement display line based and can be applied
to power, ratio or difference measurements. In addition, the limits can be
set to output a TTL logic level at the rear panel Rmt I/O port when the
predefined limits are exceeded.
Setting Limits
The power meter can be configured to verify the power being measured
against an upper and/or lower limit value. The range of values that can be
set for lower and upper limits is -150.00 dBm to +230.00 dBm. The default
upper limit is +90.00 dBm and the default lower limit is -90.00 dBm.
A typical application for this feature is shown in Figure 1-5.
