    SOUR:CURR B.10 SOURce:CURRent COMMAND Syntax: Short Form: SOUR:CURR <NRf> Long Form: SOURce:CURRent <NRf> Description: Sets the output current value. Maximum output current is rated current; minimum current is zero. Argument: <NRf> is a value in the range from 0 to rated current of unit. Rated voltage and current are defined by model (e.g., for KLN 6-100, rated voltage is 6V, rated current is 100A).
