[SOURce:]VOLTage:LIMit:LOW <value>MINMAX [SOURce:]VOLTage:LIMit:LOW? [MINMAX]

This command sets the low voltage limit of the output. When a low voltage limit has been set, the instrument will ignore any programming commands that attempt to set the output voltage below the low voltage limit. The*RST value = Max.

The range of values that can be programmed for this command is coupled with the immediate voltage level setting. The maximum value for the low voltage limit is either the value in the following table, or the immediate voltage setting multiplied by 0.95; whichever is lower. The minimum setting is the value in the table.

[SOURce:]VOLTage:PROTection:LEVel <value>MINMAX [SOURce:]VOLTage:PROTection:LEVel? [MINMAX]

This command sets the over-voltage protection (OVP) level of the output. The values are programmed in volts. If the output voltage exceeds the OVP level, the output is disabled and OV is set in the Questionable Condition status register. The*RST value = Max.

The range of values that can be programmed for this command is coupled with the immediate voltage level setting. The minimum value for the voltage protection level is either the value in the following table, or the immediate voltage setting multiplied by 1.05; whichever is higher. The maximum setting is the value in the table.

An over-voltage condition can be cleared with the Output Protection Clear command after the condition that caused the OVP trip is removed.
