Low Limit (L)
Purpose
Format
Parameters
Use to set the low limit of the voltage source.
Lnn.nn
nn.nn = -2O.OOV to 2O.OOV
NOTE: Only as many significant digitsaslrecessary need be sent (i.e. send L5 in-
s&ad of LO5.00 to program loti limit to 5V).
Description
Default
The low limit value defines the lowest voltage level to which the voltage source can
be set. A negative-going staircase will stop at the low limit.
Upon power up or after a DCL or SDC,command is received, the low limit will be
set to -2O.OOV.
Reference
The equivalent front panel control for the L command is the V LIMIT button. See
paragraph 3.3.7 for complete information on low limit.
Example
Enter the following statements into the computer to set a low limit of -1OV
IEEE-488
PROGRAMMING
When END LINE is pressed the second time, the presently programmed low liiit
will be displayed. After END LINE is presse~d the third time, the low limit will be
reprogrammed to -lOV.
