Command
:VOLT[1|2]:LIM
Long
[:SOURce]:VOLTage[1|2]:LIMit[:HIGH]
Form
Set & Query
Parameter
Numeric
Parameter suffix
V
with engineering prefixes.
*RST value
+500 mV
Description
Use this command to set/read the High-level voltage limit. If you switch
on voltage limiting, the High-level voltage cannot be set above the
programmed limit. Note that the voltage is NOT limited by the OUTPUT
hardware, this is a software limit.
Example
:HOLD VOLT
Enable VOLTAGE subsystem
:VOLT1:LIM 2V
Set OUTPUT 1 High-level limit to 2 V
:VOLT1:LIM:STAT ON
Switch on OUTPUT 1 limits
Command
:VOLT[1|2]:LIM:LOW
Long
[:SOURce]:VOLTage[1|2]:LIMit:LOW
Form
Set & Query
Parameter
Numeric
Parameter suffix
V
with engineering prefixes.
*RST value
500 mV
Description
Use this command to set/read the Low-level voltage limit. If you switch
on voltage limiting, the Low-level voltage cannot be set below the
programmed limit. Note that the voltage is NOT limited by the OUTPUT
hardware, this is a software limit.
Example
:HOLD VOLT
Enable VOLTAGE subsystem
:VOLT1:LIM:LOW 0V
Set OUTPUT 1 Low-level voltage
:VOLT1:LIM:STAT ON
Switch on OUTPUT 1 limits
