< value > is the NR1, NR2 or NR3 format
MIN Sets or returns the minimum oscillator current level
(50  A)
MAX Sets or returns the maximum oscillator current level
(When Hi-PW mo de is OFF: 20mA
When Hi-PW mo de is ON :200mA)
In case of ALC ON, this command sets to ALC OFF
and sets the maximum oscillator current level.
Note
A sux multiplier and a sux unit, A (amp ere), can be used with
this command. If this query is received when the oscillator level set
to a current level, error 0 230 Data corrupt or stale will o ccur.
Example
OUTPUT 717;"CURR 10MA" ! Set to 10 mA
OUTPUT 717;"CURR MAX" ! Set to 20 mA
