Point Frequency
The frequency of each point in a limit line can be individually set. When a new point is added, it takes on a value halfway between two existing points, or the stop frequency of the current sweep if there is no point higher in frequency than the one being added. See the Add Point submenu key description for more details. Use the keypad, the Left/Right arrow keys or the rotary knob to change the frequency of a point.
Point Value
The amplitude of each limit point can also be individually set. By default, when a new point is added, it takes on the amplitude that is on the limit line at the frequency where the point was added. Use the keypad, using the ± key as the minus sign, the Up/Down arrow keys or the rotary knob to move the point to the desired value. The unit of the amplitude limit is the same as the current vertical amplitude unit. See the Add Point submenu key description for more details.
Add Point
The precise behavior of this submenu key depends on which limit point is active at the time the key is pressed. If the active limit point is somewhere in the middle of a multi-segment limit line, a new limit point will be added that is halfway between the currently active point and the point immediately to its right. The amplitude of the point will be such that it falls on the limit line. For example, if there is a limit point at 2.0 GHz with an amplitude of –30 dBm and the next point is 3.0 GHz with an amplitude of –50 dBm, the added point will be at 2.5 GHz with an amplitude of –40 dBm. The frequency and amplitude values of the new point can be adjusted as needed with the Frequency and Amplitude submenu keys. If the last limit point is active (assuming it is not at the right edge of the display) the new limit point will be placed at the right edge of the display at the same amplitude as the point immediately to its left. Points may not be added beyond the current sweep limits of the instrument.
Delete Point
This submenu key deletes the currently active point. The active point becomes the one immediately to the left of the point that was deleted.
Next Point Left
This submenu key selects the limit point immediately to the left of the active point, making it active for editing or deletion. With each key press, the indicator of which point is active moves one limit point to the left until it reaches the left edge of the screen.
Next Point Right
This submenu key selects the limit point immediately to the right of the active point, making it active for editing or deletion. With each key press, the indicator of which point is active moves one limit point to the right until it reaches the right edge of the screen.
Move Limit
This submenu key allows an entire single or multi-segment limit line to be moved up or down by the number of dB entered using the keypad, the Up/Down arrow keys, or the rotary knob. The units for this amount will be the current display units as selected under the Amplitude menu.
