Short Form: [SOUR:]CURR[:LEV]:PROT[:BOTH]?
Long Form: [SOURce:]CURRent[:LEVel]:PROTect[:BOTH]?
Returns <value>, <value>
Description: Identifies the protection limits for current (source, sink), the maximum current the unit will source.or
sink
B.29 [SOURce:]CURRent[:LEVel]:PROTect:MODE COMMAND
Syntax:
Short Form: [SOUR:]CURR[:LEV]:PROT:MODE (EXT | FIX | LESS |)
Long Form: [SOURce:]CURRent[:LEVel]:PROTect:MODE (EXTernal | FIXed | LESSer |)
Description: Determines how current protection limits are controlled.
FIXED - Allows the limits to be controlled by digital signals from either the keypad (if the unit is in local
mode) or SCPI command (if the unit is in remote mode).
EXTERNAL: Allows the limits to be controlled by analog signals applied to the analog port; limits set
from the keypad or SCPI command have no effect (see PAR. 3.3.6.1).
LESSER LIMIT: Allows protect limit to be automatically selected from either 1) the external analog limit
CURRent applied to the Analog I/O port or 2) the value set from the keypad or SCPI command).
Whichever limit has a lower absolute value (closest to zero) has effect
