Power Command

[SOURce:]POWer:LIMit <value>, (<@chanlist>)
[SOURce:]POWer:LIMit? [MIN|MAX,] (<@chanlist>)
Sets the power limit on output channels. Units are in Watts.
For the majority of Keysight N6705C configurations, full power is available from all installed power
modules. However, it is possible to configure a mainframe in which the combined ratings of the power
modules exceed the power rating of the mainframe
For these instrument configurations, the power allocation lets you programmatically limit the output
power of some of the power modules so that the combined output power does not exceed the power
rating of the mainframe. Refer to Power Allocation for more information.
Parameter
0 - maximum|MIN|MAX, *RST MAX
Sets the power limit to 75 W on channels 1 and 2: POW:LIM 75, (@1,2)
Setting a power limit of MAX on an output channel sets the output channel to its maximum rated
l
power limit. If the power limit is left at the maximum rating, then the power module will not enable
its power limit function.
The query returns the programmed power level in the form +n.nnnnnnE+nn for each channel spe-
l
cified. Multiple responses are separated by commas. Querying MAX on an output channel returns
the maximum rated power limit.
