CAL:VOLT:PROT
This command can only be used in the calibration mode. It calibrates the power module overvoltage protection (OV)
circuit. The power module output must be enabled and operating in the constant voltage (CV) mode. The power module
automatically performs the calibration and stores the new OV constant in nonvolatile memory. CAL:VOLT:PROT is a
sequential command that takes several seconds to complete.
Command Syntax: CALibrate:VOLTage:PROTection
Parameters (None)
Example CAL:VOLT:PROT
Query Syntax (None)

Current Subsystem
This subsystem programs the output current of the power module.
CURR
This command directly programs the immediate current level of the power module. The immediate level is the current
applied at the output terminals. This command is always active, even when the current subsystem is in the list mode (see
CURR:MODE).
Command Syntax [SOURce]:CURRent[:LEVel] [:IMMediate][:AMPLitude] <NRf+>
Parameters See Table 3-2
Default Suffix A
*RST Value See Table 3-2
Examples CURR 500 MA CURR:LEV .5
Query Syntax [SOURce]:CURRent[:LEVel] [:IMMediate][:AMPLitude]?
[SOURce]:CURRent[:LEVel] [:IMMediate][:AMPLitude]? MAX
[SOURce]:CURRent[:LEVel] [:IMMediate][:AMPLitude]? MIN
Returned Parameters <NR3> CURR? returns the present programmed current level.
CURR? MAX and CURR? MIN return the maximum and minimum
programmable current levels.

CURR:MODE
This command enables or disables list subsystem control over the power module output current. When programmed with
FIX, this command prevents the output current from being controlled by the sequencing of points specified by
LIST:CURR. If the LIST parameter is used, then the output current may be changed by the subsequent execution of a list.
However, the list mode does not prevent the output current from being set by CURR and *RCL.
Note CURR:MODE:LIST is an implied ABORt command.
