l The query returns the programmed current limit in the form +n.nnnnnnE+nn for each channel spe-
cified. Multiple responses are separated by commas.
[SOURce:]CURRent:LIMit:COUPle 0|OFF|1|ON, (@<chanlist>)
[SOURce:]CURRent:LIMit:COUPle? (@<chanlist>)
Sets the current limit tracking state.
Parameter Typical Return
0|OFF|1|ON, *RST OFF 0or1
Enables the current limittracking state: CURR:LIM:COUP ON, (@1)
[SOURce:]CURRent:MODE FIXed|STEP|LIST|ARB, (@<chanlist>)
[SOURce:]CURRent:MODE? (@<chanlist>)
Sets the transient mode. This determines what happens to the output current when the transient
system is initiated and triggered.
FIXed keeps the output current at its immediate value.
STEP steps the output to the triggered level when a trigger occurs.
LIST causes the output to follow the list values when a trigger occurs.
ARB causes the output to follow the arbitrary waveform values when a trigger occurs.
Parameter Typical Return
FIXed|STEP|LIST|ARB, *RST FIXed FIX, STEP, LIST, or ARB
Sets the current mode to Step: CURR:MODE STEP, (@1)
[SOURce:]CURRent:PROTection:DELay[:TIME] <value>, (@<chanlist>)
[SOURce:]CURRent:PROTection:DELay[:TIME]? [MIN|MAX,] (@<chanlist>)
This command is the same as OUTPut:PROTection:DELay.
Sets the over-current protection delay. The over-current protection function will not be triggered
during the delay time. After the delay time has expired, the over-current protection function will be
active. This prevents momentary changes in output status from triggering the over-current protection
function. Values up to 255 milliseconds can be programmed, with a resolution of 1 millisecond.
Parameter Typical Return
0 – 0.255|MIN|MAX, *RST 0.020 <delay value>
Sets the protection delay to 0.2 seconds: CURR:PROT:DEL 0.2, (@1)
l The operation of over-current protection is affected by the setting of the current protection delay
start event, which is specified by CURRent:PROTection:DELay:STARt.
