Source Subsystem (Current)

This subsystem programs the output current of the ac source.

Subsystem Syntax

[SOURce:]
CURRent
[:LEVel]
[:IMMediate]
[:AMPLitude] <n>	Sets the rms current limit
:PEAK
[:IMMediate] <n>	Sets the peak current limit
:MODE <mode>	Sets peak current limit mode (FIX STEP PULS LIST)
:TRIGgered <n>	Sets the transient level for peak current limit
:PROTection
:STATe <bool>	Enable/Disable rms current limit protection

CURRent

Phase Selectable

This command sets the rms current limit of the specified output phase. If the output current exceeds this limit, the output voltage amplitude is reduced until the rms current is with the limit. The CL bit of the Questionable Status register indicates that the current limit control loop is active. If the current protection state is programmed on, the output latches into a disabled state when current limiting occurs.

NOTE: On Agilent models 6814B, 6834B and 6843A, the CURRent command is coupled with the VOLTage:RANGe. This means that the maximum current limit that can be programmed at a given time depends on the voltage range setting in which the unit is presently operating. Refer to Chapter 4 under "Coupled Commands" for more information.
