Syntax:
Short Form: SOUR:CURRT:PROT:LEV?
Long Form: SOURce:CURRent:PROTection:LEVel?
Description:
Indicates programmed over current protection for output current (in Amps).
Return Format:
<NRf+>
Example:
SOUR:CURR:PROT:LEV? returns 200 to indicate over current protection level is
programmed to 200A.
10-4-45. SOURce:CURRent:PROTection:STATE COMMAND
Syntax:
Short Form: SOUR:CURR:PROT:STATE <Bool> | { ON | OFF }
Long Form: SOURce:CURRent:PROTection:STATE <Bool> | { ON | OFF }
Description:
Controls whether the output protection circuit is enabled.
Argument:
1 or ON will turn the foldback protection <ON> (*NOTE)
0 or OFF will turn the foldback protection <OFF>

operating in constant current mode and exceeds 0.5 second.
Example:
SOUR:CURR:PROT:STATE 1 enable the fold-back protection
10-4-46. SOURce:CURRent:PROTection:STATE? QUERY
Syntax:
Short Form: SOUR:CURR:PROT:STATE?
Long Form: SOURce:CURRent:PROTection:STATE?
Description:
Indicates output protection state
Return Format:
<Bool>
Example:
SOUR:CURR:PROT:LEV? returns fold-back protection state.
10-4-47. SOURce:CURRent:PROTection:TRIPped? QUERY
Syntax:
Short Form: SOUR:CURR:PROT:TRIP?
Long Form: SOURce:CURRent:PROTection:TRIPped?
Description:
This query returns a 1 if the protection circuit is tripped and a 0 if it is untripped.
Return Format:
<NRf+>
Example:
SOUR:CURR:PROT:TRIP? Returns 0 when OCP is not executed, 1 when OCP is
