:SOURce:CURRent:PROTection:ULIMit
Function Sets the upper current limiter value (for
generating voltage) or queries the current
setting.
Syntax :SOURce:CURRent:PROTection:ULIMit
<Current>|MINimum|MAXimum
<current> = Sets the limiter value to the
specified value.
MINimum = Sets the limiter value to the
minimum value.
MAXimum = Sets the limiter value to the
maximum value.
:SOURce:CURRent:PROTection:ULIMit?
[MINimum|MAXimum]
No parameter = Queries the current value.
MINimum = Queries the minimum value.
MAXimum = Queries the maximum value.
→ <Current>
Example :SOUR:CURR:PROT:ULIM 1.75
:SOUR:CURR:PROT:ULIM MAX
:SOUR:CURR:PROT:ULIM?
:SOUR:CURR:PROT:ULIM? MAX
Description Note that the current limiter is activated when
the source function is set to voltage
(:SOURce:FUNCtion VOLTage).
:SOURce:CURRent:PROTection:LLIMit
Function Sets the lower current limiter value (for
generating voltage) or queries the current
setting.
Syntax :SOURce:CURRent:PROTection:LLIMit
<Current>|MINimum|MAXimum
<current> = Sets the limiter value to the
specified value.
MINimum = Sets the limiter value to the
minimum value.
MAXimum = Sets the limiter value to the
maximum value.
:SOURce:CURRent:PROTection:LLIMit?
[MINimum|MAXimum]
No parameter = Queries the current value.
MINimum = Queries the minimum value.
MAXimum = Queries the maximum value.
→ <Current>
Example :SOUR:CURR:PROT:LLIM -2.5
:SOUR:CURR:PROT:LLIM MIN
:SOUR:CURR:PROT:LLIM?
:SOUR:CURR:PROT:LLIM? MIN
Description Note that the current limiter is activated when
the source function is set to voltage
(:SOURce:FUNCtion VOLTage).
:SOURce:CURRent:SWEep:SPACing
Function Sets the sweep mode (linear or log) or queries
the current setting.
Syntax :SOURce:CURRent:SWEep:SPACing
LINear|LOGarithmic
LINear = Sets the sweep mode to linear.
LOGarithmic = Sets the sweep mode to
logarithmic.
:SOURce:CURRent:SWEep:SPACing?
→ LIN = Currently set to linear
LOG = Currently set to logarithmic
Example :SOUR:CURR:SWE:SPAC LIN
:SOUR:CURR:SWE:SPAC?
Description This setting is used when the source pattern is
set to sweep (:SOURce:MODE SWEep). This
command and :SOURce:VOLTage:SWEep:
SPACing are equivalent.
:SOURce:CURRent:SWEep:STARt
Function Sets the start value of the current sweep or
queries the current setting.
Syntax :SOURce:CURRent:SWEep:STARt
<Current>|MINimum|MAXimum
<current> = Sets the start value to the specified
value.
MINimum = Sets the start value to the minimum
value.
MAXimum = Sets the start value to the
maximum value.
:SOURce:CURRent:SWEep:STARt?
[MINimum|MAXimum]
No parameter = Queries the current value.
MINimum = Queries the minimum value.
MAXimum = Queries the maximum value.
→ <Current>
Example :SOUR:CURR:SWE:STAR 0.05
:SOUR:CURR:SWE:STAR MIN
:SOUR:CURR:SWE:STAR?
:SOUR:CURR:SWE:STAR? MIN
