Description
Use this command to set/read the High-level current limit. If you switch
on current limiting, the High-level current cannot be set above the
programmed limit.
NOTE
The current is NOT limited by the OUTPUT hardware, this is a software
limit.
Example
:HOLD CURR
Enable CURRENT subsystem
:CURR1:LIM 50 MA
Set OUTPUT 1 High-level current limit to 50 mA
:CURR1:LIM:STAT ON
Switch on OUTPUT 1 limits

Description
Use this command to set/read the Low-level current limit. If you switch
on current limiting, the Low-level current cannot be set below the
programmed limit.
NOTE
The current is NOT limited by the OUTPUT hardware, this is a software
limit.
Example
:HOLD CURR
Enable CURRENT subsystem
:CURR1:LIM:LOW -50MA
Set OUTPUT 1 Low-level current limit to 50mA
:CURR1:LIM:STAT ON
Switch on OUTPUT 1 limits
Command
:CURR[1|2]:LIM:STAT
