Note that triggered values can be programmed outside these limits, 
but an error will be generated when the trigger occurs.

This command sets the low voltage limit of the output. When a low 
voltage limit has been set, the instrument will ignore any 
programming commands that attempt to set the output voltage below 
the low voltage limit. The*RST value = Min. 
The range of values that can be programmed for this command is 
coupled with the immediate voltage level setting. The maximum value 
for the low voltage limit is either the value in the following table, or 
the immediate voltage setting multiplied by 0.95; whichever is lower. 
The minimum setting is the value in the table.

[SOURce:]VOLTage:PROTection:LEVel? [MIN|MAX] 
This command sets the over-voltage protection (OVP) level of the 
output. The values are programmed in volts. If the output voltage 
exceeds the OVP level, the output is disabled and OV is set in the 
Questionable Condition status register. The*RST value = Max. 
The range of values that can be programmed for this command is 
coupled with the immediate voltage level setting. The minimum value 
for the voltage protection level is either the value in the following 
table, or the immediate voltage setting multiplied by 1.05; whichever 
is higher. The maximum setting is the value in the table. 
An over-voltage condition can be cleared with the Output Protection 
Clear command after the condition that caused the OVP trip is 
removed.
