Description
This command switches the output limits on or off. When you switch on
the output limits cannot program the output-levels beyond the
programmed limits, until you switch off the voltage-limits. The limits
apply whether you program High/Low levels or Amplitude/Offset levels.
NOTE
You can switch the limits on and off in both the
[:SOURce]:CURRent
and the
[:SOURce]:VOLTage
subsystems but the current and voltage
limits are not enabled/ disabled independently. The voltage and current
limits are always enabled/disabled together.
Example
:HOLD VOLT
Enable VOLTAGE subsystem
:VOLT1:LIM 2V
Set OUTPUT 1 High level voltage limit to 2
V
:VOLT1:LIM:LOW 0V
Set OUTPUT 1 Low-level voltage limit to 0
:VOLT1:LIM:STAT ON
Switch on OUTPUT 1 limits
Command
:STATus:OPERation
This command tree accesses the
OPERation
status group. The
OPERation
status group is not used by the instrument therefore this
command tree is redundant.
