[SOURce] Commands
[SOURce:]CURRent:PROTection:STATe 0|OFF|1|ON
[SOURce:]CURRent:PROTection:STATe?
Enables or disables the over-current protection. If the over-current protection function is enabled and the output goes
into constant current operation, the output is disabled and the Questionable Condition status register OCP bit is set.
Parameter Typical Return
0|OFF|1|ON, *RST OFF 0 or 1
Enable the current protection state: CURR:PROT:STAT ON
l
The current limit setting determines when the output goes into constant current operation.
l
An over-current condition can be cleared with OUTPut:PROTection:CLEar after the cause of the condition is
removed.
[SOURce:]VOLTage[:LEVel][:IMMediate][:AMPLitude] <
value
>|MIN|MAX
[SOURce:]VOLTage[:LEVel][:IMMediate][:AMPLitude]? [MIN|MAX]
[SOURce:]VOLTage[:LEVel]:TRIGgered[:AMPLitude] <
value >|MIN|MAX
[SOURce:]VOLTage[:LEVel]:TRIGgered[:AMPLitude]? [MIN|MAX]
Sets the immediate voltage level and the triggered voltage level when the output is operating in constant voltage
mode. The triggered level is a stored value that is transferred to the output when an output Step is triggered. Units are
in volts. The maximum value depends on the voltage rating of the unit.
Parameter Typical Return
0 to 102% of rating|MIN|MAX, *RST 0 <voltage level>
Sets the output voltage level to 20 V: VOLT 20
Sets the triggered voltage level to 25 V: VOLT:TRIG 25
[SOURce:]VOLTage:MODE FIXed|STEP
[SOURce:]VOLTage:MODE?
Sets the transient mode. This determines what happens to the output voltage when the transient system is initiated
and triggered.
FIXed keeps the output voltage at its immediate value.
STEP steps the output to the triggered level when a trigger occurs.
Parameter Typical Return
FIXed|STEP, *RST FIXed FIX or STEP
Sets the voltage mode to Step: VOLT:MODE STEP
