SCPI Instrument Command List

*RST value

OFF

 

Description

This command switches the output limits on or off. When you switch on

 

the output limits cannot program the output-levels beyond the

 

programmed limits, until you switch off the output-limits. The limits

 

apply whether you program High/Low levels or Amplitude/Offset levels.

NOTE

You can switch the limits on and off in both the

 

[:SOURce]:CURRent and the [:SOURce]:VOLTage subsystems

 

but the current and voltage limits are not enabled/ disabled

 

independently. The voltage and current limits are always enabled/

 

disabled together.

 

Example

:HOLD CURR

Enable CURRENT subsystem

 

:CURR1:LIM 50MA

Set OUTPUT 1 High-level current limit to 50 m

 

:CURR1:LIM:LOW -50MA

Set OUTPUT 1 LOW-level current limit to –50mA

 

:CURR1:LIM:STAT ON

Switch on OUTPUT 1 limits
