4.7.2 Limiter Polarity Mode
Limiters (compliance) possess both +/- polarities for both voltage source and current source but it is pos-
sible to accurately calibrate the setting for only one of these polarities, i.e., either + or -.
The function to select the polarity for this accurate limiter value is called the Limiter polarity mode.
For the accuracy of the other limiter, refer to the information on general accuracy of reverse polarity limiter
in Chapter 9, “SPECIFICATIONS.”
Limiter polarity mode
Auto: Sets the same polarity value as that of the source value to be accurate.
Plus: Sets + polarity value to be accurate.
Minus: Sets - polarity value to be accurate.
Use the Auto mode for normal loads (resistors, semiconductors, etc.).
To control the sink current with the current limiter such as battery discharge, set the polarity to Plus or
Minus.
