MAXimum|MINimum Special mnemonics for setting the parame-

instrument allows.
MAX, MIN
For the actual value of the parameter type <Boolean>, you may enter
0 or OFF or you may enter 1 or ON.
For the command in Figure 5, entering 0 or OFF turns the overcur-
rent protection (OCP) off and entering 1 or ON turns the OCP on.
The following example includes both the header and a value for the
parameter type:
SOURce:CURRent:PROTection:STATe OFF
Parameter values that appear in this manual are often separated by a
vertical line. This vertical line means the same thing as the word
“or.” For example, values for the parameter <Boolean> are
0|1|OFF|ON
This is the same thing as saying “0 or 1 or OFF or ON.” Any single
value is a valid parameter.
NOTE. Do not include the <, >, or | symbols when entering the
actual value for a parameter.
