11.3 Source Subsystem

[SOURce:]CURRent[:LEVel]
This command sets the current limit of the output. If the load current exceeds the programmed
current limit, the power supply will cross over from voltage mode to current mode. In this mode, the
output voltage will fold back as much as needed to retain the current at the programmed limit.
The current may be set between the low limit and high limit as programmed using the CURR:HIGH
and CURR:LOW commands. However, the high limit cannot be higher than the model's capability
(configuration limit) which can be queried with the LIM:CURR? command. The low limit cannot be
less than zero. The *RST state for high and low current is zero for low, and maximum configuration
limit for high. (model specific).

CURR:HIGH
CURR:LOW
[SOURce:]CURRent:HIGH
This command sets the maximum programmed current that will be accepted by the power supply. If a
value above this limit value is programmed, a "-200 Execution Error" will be generated.
The current limit may be set between zero and the model's capability (configuration limit) which can
be queried with the LIM:CURR? command. The high limit cannot be less than the low limit however.
The *RST state for high current limit is the maximum configuration limit. (model specific).
