[SOURce:]CURRent:RANGe
This command sets the current range of the electronic load module. There are two current ranges, high
range (model dependent) and low range (model dependent).
When you program a range value, the load automatically selects the range that corresponds to the
value that you program. If the value falls in a region where ranges overlap, the electronic load selects
the range with the highest resolution.
NOTE: When this command is executed, the IMMediate, TRANsient, TRIGgered, and SLEW current
settings are adjusted as follows.
• If existing settings are within new range, no adjustment is made.
• If existing settings are outside new range, the levels are set to the maximum value of the new
range.
