All about Limit Lines

Limit lines are visual representations, drawn on the FieldFox screen, of the specified limits for a
measurement. With this capability, you can easily compare measured data versus specifications.
Optionally, you can enable an audible beep and display Pass or Fail information for each
measurement.
IMPORTANT! For CAT and NA modes, limit lines do not apply
where F1 = F2.
— You can have up to as many limit line segments as there are data points for each measurement
trace allowing you to test all aspects of your measurements.
— Limit lines are available in CAT Mode, NA Mode, NF Mode, and SA Mode. Power Meter Mode
uses different limit settings. Learn more in
— Limit lines and limit testing are NOT allowed in NA Mode with Smith Chart or Polar display
formats.
— A simple Display Line is also available in I/Q Analyzer, NF, and SA Modes ONLY. Learn more in
"Display Line (I/Q, NF, and SA Modes Only)" on page
— Limit lines can be saved and recalled with an *.sta file. Learn more
Limits" on page 744. *.sta files can also be saved and recalled independently from the Limit
softkeys. Learn more
How to Create Fixed Limit Lines
There are two ways to build a Fixed limit line:
1. Build (limits) From a Trace. Learn how in
2. Enter X/Y data points into the on-screen editor. The limit line is formed as the FieldFox
'connects the dots' on the screen. To create frequency gaps that are NOT tested, use separate
limit lines. The X-axis values for two lines can overlap.
3. Press Limit 8 > Edit
4. Use the Up / Down arrows and rotary knob to navigate the cursor to the following editable
cells.
— Description - Press Edit, then enter a description for the limit line using the FieldFox
labeler. Learn how in
— Fixed/Relative – Press
— Fixed - (Default) the limit line does not move. The X/Y coordinates are
absolute locations on the screen.
— Relative - the limit line moves relative to the center frequency and acquisition.
Note: It is easiest to first create Fixed Limits, then change this setting to
Relative. Learn more
— Upper/Lower – Press
