Limit Tests - HP 82479A Owner's Manual

The SETUP Program
9.2 LIMIT TESTS
You can specify up to five limit tests for each group. For each limit test a limit point and a limit action are
specified. The current value for each channel in a group is compared with the limit point, and the limit
action is taken if the value goes past the limit point. That is, for a lower limit, the limit action is taken if
the current value goes below the limit point; for an upper limit, the limit action is taken if the value goes
above the limit point. The available limit actions are:
e BEEP - Sound a beep on the HP-71.
eo PRINT - Print a message on the system printer.
OPEN / CLOSE ACT/BIT - Open or close an actuator or bit on a digital output card.
GROUP ON/OFF - Enable or disable a channel group.
LIMIT PROGRAM - Call a user-written program which takes specific actions.
