This dialog allows you to specify limits outside which data points will be ignored. Line segments will not be drawn to or from these data points, nor will line segments be drawn between the last and next data points on either side of an ignored point. This allows you to create gaps in your curves. There are several potential uses for this feature; here is one:

The plot below was created using Y=f(X) with Y=tan(X) from PI/4 to 3*PI/4, then zooming in to the limits shown. The only problem with this plot is the vertical line segment between just before X=PI/2 to just after X=PI/2, which has no real meaning.

To eliminate this vertical line, we use “Amplitude Limits” and set the limits to +/- 200:
