[Source:]Current; [Source:]Current:protection:state; [Source:]Current:trigger - Agilent Technologies 66311A User Manual

[SOURce:]CURRent

This command sets the immediate current level of the dc source. The immediate level is the current
programmed for the output terminals.
Command Syntax [SOURce:]CURRent[:LEVel][:IMMediate][:AMPLitude] <NRf+>
Parameters see Table 8-3
Default Suffix A (amperes)
*RST Value 10% of MAX
Examples CURR 200 MA
Query Syntax [SOURce:]CURRent[:LEVel][:IMMediate][:AMPLitude]?
Returned Parameters <NR3>
Related Commands CURR:TRIG

[SOURce:]CURRent:PROTection:STATe

This command enables or disables the overcurrent protection (OCP) function. If the dc source
overcurrent protection function is enabled and the dc source goes into constant current operation, then
the output is disabled and the Questionable Condition status register OC bit is set (see chapter 7 about
programming the status registers). Note that the [SOURce:]CURRent command sets the current limit,
which determines when the dc source goes into constant current operation. An overcurrent condition can
be cleared with the OUTPut:PROTection:CLEar command after the cause of the condition is removed.
NOTE: Use OUTP:PROT:DEL to prevent momentary current limit conditions caused by
programmed output changes from tripping the overcurrent protection.
Command Syntax [SOURce:]CURRent:PROTection:STATe <bool>
Parameters 0 | 1 | OFF | ON
*RST Value OFF
Examples CURR:PROT:STAT 0 CURRENT:PROTECTION:STATE OFF
Query Syntax Syntax [SOURce:]CURRent:PROTection:STATe?
Returned Parameters <NR1>0 or 1

[SOURce:]CURRent:TRIGger

This command sets the pending triggered current level of the dc source. The pending triggered level is a
stored current value that is transferred to the output terminals when a trigger occurs. In order for a trigger
to occur, the trigger subsystem must be initiated (see the INITiate command in the trigger subsystem).
Command Syntax [SOURce:]CURRent[:LEVel]:TRIGgered[:AMPLitude] <NRf+>
Parameters see Table 8-3
Default Suffix A ( amperes)
*RST Value 10% of MAX
Examples CURR:TRIG 1CURRENT:LEVEL:TRIGGERED 1
Query Syntax SOURce:]CURRent[LEVel]:TRIGgered[:AMPLitude]?
