Chapter 3, "Language Dictionary". Peak current limit The Keysight 6811C, 6812C, and 6813C have a programmable peak current limit which limits the instantaneous current. The command to set this limit is: CURRent:PEAK <n> where <n> is the peak current in amperes.
Page 234: Dc Output
Programming Examples DC output The Keysight 6811C, 6812C, and 6813C single-phase models have DC output capability which lets you independently control the DC and AC components of the output voltage. At *RST, these models default to the AC output mode. When DC offset is desired, this mode must be changed using the OUTPut:COUPling command.

When an output transient is initiated (ready to receive a trigger), the error checking that takes place for maximum peak output voltage includes any combination of voltage, voltage offset, or function shape that can occur during the transient.
