[SOURce:]CURRent

This command sets the immediate current level of the dc source . The immediate level is the current
programmed for the output terminals.

[SOURce:]CURRent:TRIGger

This command sets the pending triggered current level of the dc source . The pending triggered level is a
stored current value that is transferred to the output terminals when a trigger occurs. In order for a trigger
to occur, the trigger subsystem must be initiated (see the INITiate command in the trigger subsystem).

[SOURce:]CURRent:PROTection:STATe

This command enables or disables the overcurrent protection (OCP) function. If the dc source overcurrent
protection function is enabled and the dc source goes into constant current operation, then the output is
disabled and the Questionable Condition status register OC bit is set (see chapter 3 under Programming
the Status Registers). Note that the [SOURce:]CURRent command sets the current limit, which
determines when the dc source goes into constant current operation. An overcurrent condition can be
cleared with the OUTPut:PROTection:CLEar command after the cause of the condition is removed.
NOTE: Use OUTP:PROT:DEL to prevent momentary current limit conditions caused by
programmed output changes from tripping the overcurrent protection.
