:RANGe <n>
This command is used to select the V-source range.
Usage
:SOURce:VOLTage:RANGe <n>
:RANGe?
:RANGe? DEFault
:RANGe? MINimum
:RANGe? MAXimum
<n>
 0 to 1000: Specify output in volts
 DEFault: 100V range
 MINimum: 100V range
 MAXimum: 1000V range
Details
This command is used to select the optimum range for the V-source. Specifying the output voltage
value automatically selects the most sensitive range. For example, specifying a value 100 selects
the 100 V range. Specifying a value > 100 selects the 1000 V range.
You cannot select the 100 V range if the programmed amplitude value is greater than 100. A Settings
Conflict error results.

:LIMit[:AMPLitude] <n>
This command is used to set the voltage limit.
Usage
:SOURce:VOLTage:LIMit[:AMPLitude] <n>
:LIMit?
:LIMit? DEFault
:LIMit? MINimum
:LIMit? MAXimum
<n>
 0 to 1000: Set voltage limit
 DEFault: 1000 V
 MINimum: 0 V
 MAXimum: 1000 V
Details
This command is used to set an absolute value limit for the V-source. For example, setting a limit of
75 V limits the V-source output to ± 75 V.
The specified voltage limit is only in effect if the limit is enabled. If disabled, the limit is simply dictated
by the selected range.
