:CURRent commands

:RLIMit:STATe <b>

This command is used to control the resistance current.

Usage

:SOURce:CURRent:RLIMit:STATe <b>
:STATe?

<b>



0 or OFF:

Disable resistance current limit



1 or ON:

Enable resistance current limit

Details

This command is used to enable or disable resistance current limit for the V-source. When enabled, a
1 M



resistor is placed in series with the HI V-SOURCE OUT lead to extend the current limit

capabilities of the V-source. When disabled, normal current limit occurs at 1 mA.

Also see

None

:LIMit[:STATe]?

This command is used to query the current compliance.

Usage

:SOURce:CURRent:LIMit[:STATe]?

Details

Description This command is used to determine if the V-source has reached its current compliance
limit of 1mA. The response message is explained as follows:

0

= Current compliance not reached

1

= Current compliance reached

Also see

None

:ROUTe subsystem

The commands in this subsystem are used to configure and control switching and are summarized in
