Description Use this command to switch the output limits on or off. When you switch
on the output limits, you 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 To set and activate the high and low voltage 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.
