SCPI programming - limits
For remote operation, the testing capabilities of Limit 1 and Limit 2 are the same. Limit 1
and/or Limit 2 can be enabled. The commands to configure and control limit testing are listed in
Table 8-1.
NOTE When testing limits remotely, keep in mind that the front panel HI/IN/LO status
messages only apply to Limit 1. Also, if the front panel beeper is set for OUTSIDE or
INSIDE, it will operate according to its front panel definition as previously explained.
