This command only applies to models that have programmable
ranges. Refer to Appendix A for the available ranges for each model.
This command sets the output current range. Units are in amperes.
The instrument selects the range with the best resolution for the
value entered. When queried, the returned value is the maximum DC
current that can be output on the range that is presently set.
This command is coupled with the [SOURce:]CURRent command.
This means that if a range command is sent that places an output on
a range with a lower maximum current than the present current
level, an error is generated. This also occurs if a current level is
programmed with a value too large for the present range.
These types of errors can be avoided by sending the both level and
range commands in the same SCPI message. When the range and
setting information is received as a set, no range/setting conflict
occurs.
The *RST value = the highest available range.
If programming a range value causes a range change to occur while the output
is enabled, the output will be temporarily disabled while the range switch
occurs. The transition from on-to-off and then from off-to-on will also be
delayed by the settings of OUTPut:DELay:FALL and OUTPut:DELay:RISE.
This query reads the state of the digital control port. The query
returns the state of pins 1 through 7 in bits 0 through 6 respectively.
This command sets the output data on the digital control port when
that port is configured for Digital I/O operation. The port has seven
signal pins and a digital ground pin. In the binary-weighted value
that is written to the port, the pins are controlled according to the
following bit assignments.

The query returns the last programmed value of the bits. To read the
actual state of the pin, use [SOURce:]DIGital:INPut:DATA?
