conflict" error.
The high limit sets the highest output voltage allowed to be set, including DC Offset and peak amplitude. It is set in
l
reference to the current
ment's output, then the output limit may not represent the actual voltages at the output connector. For example,
if the output impedance is set to 50 Ω, but the actual load is high impedance, then the actual output peak voltage
may be up to twice the specified limit voltage.
Specifying Voltage Units: You can set the output limit voltage only in volts.

[SOURce[1|2]:]VOLTage:LIMit:STATe {ON|1|OFF|0}
[SOURce[1|2]:]VOLTage:LIMit:STATe?
Enables or disables output amplitude voltage limits.
Parameter
{ON|1|OFF|0}, default OFF
Set and enable ±2.5 V output limits on channel 1:
VOLT:LIM:HIGH 2.5
VOLT:LIM:LOW -2.5
VOLT:LIM:STAT ON
When this is turned ON, if the present settings of amplitude and offset exceed the limits, then the limits will be dis-

abled. The instrument will generate either a "Settings conflict" error.

Limits are set in reference to the current setting of OUTPut[1|2]:LOAD. If the specified LOAD impedance is not

present at the instrument's output, then the output limit may not represent the actual voltages at the output con-
nector. For example, if the output impedance is set to 50 Ω, but the actual load is high impedance, then the actual
output peak voltage may be up to twice the specified limit voltage.
[SOURce[1|2]:]VOLTage:OFFSet {< offset >|MINimum|MAXimum}
[SOURce[1|2]:]VOLTage:OFFSet? [{MINimum|MAXimum}]
Sets DC offset voltage.
