: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]
 [:SOURce[n]]:CURRent:PROTection:STATe
 [:SOURce[n]]:VOLTage[:LEVel][:IMMediate][:AMPLitude]
 [:SOURce[n]]:VOLTage:PROTection[:LEVel]
 [:SOURce[n]]:VOLTage:PROTection:STATe
Note: When [:SOURce[n]] or [n] is omitted, the parameter of the channel currently selected will be set by
default.
[:SOURce[n]]:CURRent[:LEVel][:IMMediate][:AMPLitude]
Syntax [:SOURce[n]]:CURRent[:LEVel][:IMMediate][:AMPLitude]
{<current>|MINimum|MAXimum}
[:SOURce[n]]:CURRent[:LEVel][:IMMediate][:AMPLitude]?
[{MINimum|MAXimum}]
Description Set the current of the specified channel.
Query the current of the specified channel.
Parameter
Name Type Range Default
[n] Integer 1|2|3 1
<current> Real Refer to the “Explanation” of :APPLy Command
Explanation When [:SOURce[n]] is omitted, the command sets the parameter of the channel
currently selected by default.
