pending triggered level is a stored current value that is transferred to the power supply output
when a trigger occurs. A pending triggered level is unaffected by subsequent CURR commands
and remains in effect until the trigger subsystem receives a trigger or is aborted with an ABORt
command. In order for CURR:TRIG to be executed, the trigger subsystem must be initiated (see
INITiate).
CURR? and CURR:TRIG? return presently programmed immediate and triggered levels. If no
triggered level is programmed, then the CURR level is returned for both values. CURR? MAX
and CURR? MIN return the maximum and minimum programmable immediate current levels.
CURR:TRIG? MAX and CURR:TRIG? MIN return the maximum and minimum programmable
triggered current levels.

4.3.1.4 CURR:PROT
This command sets the over current trip (OCT) level of the power supply. If the output current
exceeds the OCT level, then the power supply output is disabled and the Questionable Condition
status register OC bit is set (see Table 4.2). An over current trip condition can be cleared with the
OUTP:PROT:CLE command after the condition that caused the OCT trip is removed.
CURR:PROT? returns presently programmed OCT level. CURR:PROT? MAX and
CURR:PROT? MIN return the maximum and minimum programmable OCP levels.
