[SOURce:]CURRent[:IMMediate]

[SOURce:]CURRent:TRIGgered

These commands set the immediate and the pending triggered current level of the dc source. They only apply in current priority mode. The immediate level is the output current setting. The pending triggered level is a stored value that is transferred to the output when a trigger occurs. To respond to a trigger, the [SOUR:]CURR:MODE must be set to STEP, and the trigger system must be initiated.

[SOURce:]CURRent:LIMit[:IMMediate]

[SOURce:]CURRent:LIMit:TRIGgered

These commands set the immediate and the pending triggered current limit of the dc source. They only apply in voltage priority mode. The current limit setting applies to both the positive and negative current limits. The pending triggered limit is a stored value that applies when a trigger occurs. To respond to a trigger, the [SOUR:]CURR:LIM:MODE must be set to STEP, and the trigger system must be initiated.

[SOURce:]CURRent:LIMit:BWIDth

This command configures the output compensation band of the current limit circuit. If capacitive loads cause the output to oscillate, use this command to select a lower compenstion band. Note that if the output is on, changing the compensation will cause the output to cycle OFF, then ON. The following compensation bandwidths may be programmed: 30 kHz or 10 kHz.

Command Syntax	[SOURce:]CURRent:LIMit:BWIDth <Nrf>, (@<channel list>)
Parameters	10000 30000
*RST Value	30000
Examples	CURR:LIM:BWID 10000,(@1)
Query Syntax	[SOURce:]CURRent:LIMit:BWIDth? (@<channel list>)
