Syntax:
:CALCulate<Tr>:LIMit:LOWer:POINt:LEFT
Cmd Parameter
NA
Query Response
NA (no query)

Lower Limit Point X Value
:CALCulate<Tr>:LIMit:LOWer:POINt:X
Description
Sets the location of the lower limit point of the given trace <Tr> on the x‑axis at the specified location. <Tr> is the trace number in the range 1 to 4. If no trace number is specified, then the <Tr> parameter defaults to trace number 1. <x‑parameter> is defined in the current x‑axis. Sending the set command changes the Move Limit on the front panel to Point if it is currently set to Limit, and sets the given trace as the active trace. The <x‑parameter> given unit must correspond to the given trace domain type. If no unit is specified with the <x‑parameter>, then the default unit is used. The query version of the command returns the location of the given trace active lower limit point on the x‑axis followed by the unit. If an error occurs, such as limit not ON, then the query version of the command returns – 400 error codes. Limit line must be ON for the command to be valid. Use :CALCulate:LIMit:TYPE to set the currently active limit line.
Syntax:
:CALCulate<Tr>:LIMit:LOWer:POINt:X <x‑parameter>
:CALCulate<Tr>:LIMit:LOWer:POINt:X?

Lower Limit Point Y Value
:CALCulate<Tr>:LIMit:LOWer:POINt:Y
Description
Sets the location of the lower limit point of the given trace <Tr> on the y‑axis at the specified location. <Tr> is the trace number in the range 1 to 4. If no trace number is specified then default is trace number 1. Sending the set command changes the Move Limit on the front panel to Point if it is currently set to Limit, and sets the given trace as the active trace. The <y‑parameter> is defined in the given trace current y‑axis. If no unit is specified with the <y‑parameter>, then the default unit is used. The query version of the command returns the location of the given trace lower limit point on the y‑axis. If an error occurs, such as limit not ON, then the query version of the command returns – 400 error codes. Limit line must be ON for the command to be valid. Use :CALCulate:LIMit:TYPE to set the currently active limit line.
Syntax:
:CALCulate<Tr>:LIMit:LOWer:POINt:Y <y‑parameter>
:CALCulate<Tr>:LIMit:LOWer:POINt:Y?
Cmd Parameter
<NRf> <y‑parameter> (depends on display type)
Query Response
<NR3> <y‑parameter> (depends on display type)
Default Units
Current active trace y‑axis unit

Lower Limit State
:CALCulate<Tr>:LIMit:LOWer[:STATe]
Description
Turns the lower limit line of the given trace <Tr> ON or OFF. <Tr> is the trace number in the range 1 to 4. If no trace number is specified, then the <Tr> parameter defaults to trace number 1. <Tr> is the trace number in the range 1 to 4. If no trace number is specified, then the <Tr> parameter defaults to trace number 1. The query version of the command returns a 1 if the lower limit line of the given trace is ON, and returns a 0 if it is OFF.
