SCPI Command Reference
78
Description:
This command is used to specify the upper and lower limit for limit testing. The actual limit depends
on which measurement function is currently selected. For example, a limit value of 1 is 1V for the
voltage measurement functions (DCV or ACV), 1A for the current measurement functions (DCI or
ACI), 1 Ω on the resistance measurement function (2-wire or 4-wire). A limit value is not range
sensitive. For example, a limit of 1 for DCV is 1 V on all measurement ranges.
