You can use this command to check the limit state of the source.
If the limits were exceeded, the instrument clamps the source to keep the source within the set limits.
If you check the limit for the source that is not presently selected, nil is returned.
Example
print(smu.source.vlimit.tripped)
Check the state of the source limit for voltage. If
the limit was exceeded, the output is:
smu.ON
