Source Subsystem (Current)
This subsystem programs the output current of the ac source.
Subsystem Syntax
[SOURce:]
CURRent
[:LEVel]
[:IMMediate]
[:AMPLitude] <n> Sets the rms current limit
:PEAK
[:IMMediate] <n> Sets the peak current limit
:MODE <mode> Sets peak current limit mode (FIX | STEP | PULS | LIST)
:TRIGgered <n> Sets the transient level for peak current limit
:PROTection
:STATe <bool> Enable/Disable rms current limit protection
CURRent
Phase Selectable
This command sets the rms current limit of the specified output phase. If the output current exceeds this
limit, the output voltage amplitude is reduced until the rms current is with the limit. The CL bit of the
Questionable Status register indicates that the current limit control loop is active. If the current protection
state is programmed on, the output latches into a disabled state when current limiting occurs.
NOTE: On Agilent models 6814B, 6834B and 6843A, the CURRent command is coupled with the
VOLTage:RANGe. This means that the maximum current limit that can be programmed
at a given time depends on the voltage range setting in which the unit is presently
operating. Refer to Chapter 4 under "Coupled Commands" for more information.
