CURR:PROT:STAT
This command enables or disables the power module overcurrent (OC) protection function. If the overcurrent protection
function is enabled and the power module goes into constant current (CC) mode, then the output is disabled and the
Questionable Condition status register OC bit is set (see "Chapter 4 - Status Reporting"). An overcurrent condition can be
cleared with the OUTP:PROT:CLE command after the cause of the condition is removed.
Command Syntax [SOURce]:CURRent:PROTection:STATe <bool>
Parameters 0 | 1 | OFF | ON
*RST Value OFF
Examples CURR:PROT:STAT 0 CURR:PROT:STAT OFF
Query Syntax [SOURce]:CURRent:PROTection:STATe?
Returned Parameters 0 | 1

CURR:TRIG
This command programs the pending triggered current level of the power module. The pending triggered current level is a
stored value that is transferred to the output terminals when a trigger occurs. A pending triggered level is unaffected by
subsequent CURR commands and remains in effect until the trigger subsystem receives a trigger or an ABORt command is
given. If there is no pending triggered level, then the query form returns the IMMediate current level. In order for
CURR:TRIG to be executed, the trigger subsystem must be initiated (see INITiate).
Command Syntax [SOURce]:CURRent[:LEVel]:TRIGgered [:AMPLitude] <NRf+>
Parameters See Table 3-2
Default Suffix A
*RST Value See Table 3-2
Examples CURR:TRIG 1200 MA CURR:LEV:TRIG 1.2
Query Syntax SOURce]:CURRent[LEVel]:TRIGgered [:AMPLitude]?
[SOURce]:CURRent[LEVel]:TRIGgered [:AMPLitude]? MAXimum
[SOURce]:CURRent[:LEVel]:TRIGgered [:AMPLitude]? MIN
Returned Parameters <NR3> CURR:TRIG? returns the presently programmed triggered level.
If no triggered level is programmed, the CURR level is returned.
CURR:TRIG? MAX and CURR:TRIG? MIN return the maximum and
minimum programmable triggered current levels.

DISPlay Command
This command turns the power module optional front panel voltage and current displays on and off. It does not affect the
annunciators. Command Syntax DISPlay[:WINDow]:STAT <bool>
Parameters 0 | 1 | OFF | ON
*RST Value ON
Examples DISP:STAT 1 DISP:STAT OFF
Query Syntax DISPlay[:WINDow]:STAT?
Returned Parameters 0 |1

INITiate Command
This command enables the trigger subsystem. When a trigger is enabled, an event on the selected trigger source causes the
specified triggering action to occur. If a trigger circuit is not enabled, all trigger commands are ignored. If INIT:CONT is
OFF, then INIT enables the trigger subsystem only for a single trigger action. The subsystem must be enabled prior to each
subsequent trigger action. If INIT:CONT is ON, then the trigger system is continuously enabled and INIT is redundant.
