:VSLimit <b>
This command is used to control the 200 V V-source Limit.
Usage
:ROUTe:SCAN:VSLimit <b>
:VSLimit?
<b>
 0 or OFF: Disable 200V V-source Limit
 1 or ON: Enable 200V V-source Limit
Details
This 200V V-source limit is used to help protect internal scanner cards from high voltage that could
damage them. With the 200V limit enabled, the V-source can never source more than +/-200V.
Note that the :SOURce:VOLTage:LIMit command is also used to set the voltage limit of the V-
source. Of the two voltage limit methods, the one that is set to the lower limit value (absolute) is the
one that is in effect.
