When selecting Table mode, you must first activate a table using the CURRent:TABLe:NAME com-
mand. Otherwise Error 103 is generated if no table has been activated. When a table has been
selected, the combination of table values and scale factors for the voltage and current points are
checked to not exceed any maximum. If the validity check passes, the table will be used.
[SOURce:]CURRent:PROTection[:LEVel] <value>|MIN|MAX,(@<chanlist>)
[SOURce:]CURRent:PROTection[:LEVel]? [MIN|MAX,] (@<chanlist>)
Sets the over-current protection level in SAS and Table modes. Units are in amperes. This single-sided
limit is applied to the positive current. If the output current exceeds the protection level, the output is
disabled and the Questionable Condition status OC bit is set.
In Fixed mode, this command is ignored, as the CURRent:LIMit:POSitive and CURRent:LIMit:NEGative
commands determine the level at which the OCP occurs.
Parameter Typical Return
0 – 12.5 (MP4361A), *RST 12.5
0 – 10 (MP4362A), *RST 10
<protection level>
<chanlist> one or more channels
Sets the current protection 5 A on channel 2: CURR:PROT 5, (@2)
l
An over-current condition can be cleared with the OUTPut:PROTection:CLEar command after the
condition that caused the OCP trip is removed.
[SOURce:]CURRent:PROTection:STATe 0|OFF|1|ON, (@<chanlist>)
[SOURce:]CURRent:PROTection:STATe? (@<chanlist>)
Enables or disables over-current protection. In Fixed mode, if the over-current protection is enabled
and the output goes into current limit, the output is disabled and the Questionable Condition status'
OCP bit is set. In SAS and Table modes this occurs when the output current exceeds the
CURRent:PROTection:LEVel setting.
Parameter Typical Return
0|OFF|1|ON, *RST OFF 0or1
<chanlist> one or more channels
Enable the current protection state: CURR:PROT:STAT ON, (@2)
