:SOURce Commands
The :SOURce commands are used to set the voltage, current, OVP and OCP of the specified channel. Their
functions are equivalent to that of
:APPLy Command. Although the :APPLy command provides the most
straightforward method to program the power supply over the remote interfaces, the :SOURce commands
give you more flexibility to change individual parameters.
Command List:
 [:SOURce[n]]:CURRent[:LEVel][:IMMediate][:AMPLitude]
 [:SOURce[n]]:CURRent:PROTection[:LEVel]
