The following figure shows the limit lines for the voltage source. The voltage source limit line
represents the maximum source value possible for the presently selected voltage source range. For
example, if you are using the 6 V source range, the voltage source limit line is at 6.3 V. The current
compliance limit line represents the actual compliance in effect (see Limit principles (on page 5-1)).
These limit lines are boundaries that represent the operating limits of the
instrument for this quadrant
of operation. The operating point can be anywhere inside (or on) these limit lines. The limit line
boundaries for the other quadrants are similar.

2611B, 2612B, 2614B, 2634B, 2635B, and 2636B voltage source operating
boundaries
The following figures show the operating boundaries for the voltage source. Only the first quadrant of
operation is shown. Operation in the other three quadrants is similar.
The following figure shows the output characteristics for the V-source. As shown, the 2611B, 2612B,
2614B, 2634B, 2635B, or 2636B can output up to 20.2 V at 1.5 A, or 202 V at 100 mA. Note that
when sourcing more than 20.2 V, current is limited to 100 mA.
