Details
Overvoltage protection restricts the maximum voltage level that the instrument can source.
Overcurrent protection restricts the maximum current level that the instrument can source. This
protection is in effect only for positive output voltages or currents.
When this attribute is used in a test sequence, it should be set before the turning the source on.
Example
:VOLT:PROT 20
:VOLT:PROT?
