NOTE: The rms current limit circuit is slower than the peak current limit circuit and, depending on the setting of the peak current limit and the load on the output, your unit may generate momentary peak currents that can well exceed the rms current limit.

When this command is sent, the output generates a squarewave. Note that the peak-to-peak amplitude of the squarewave is less that that of a sinewave when it is programmed to the same rms voltage amplitude.

Protect

These commands clear all previously set protection functions and then set the current protection, which disables the output when an overcurrent condition is detected. The OCP annunciator will light when this command is programmed.
