[SOURce:]VOLTage:PROTection
This command sets the overvoltage protection (OVP) level of the dc source. If the output voltage exceeds
the OVP level, then the dc source output is disabled and the Questionable Condition status register OV
bit is set (see chapter 7 about programming the status registers). An overvoltage condition can be cleared
with the OUTP:PROT:CLE command after the condition that caused the OVP trip is removed. The OVP
always trips with zero delay and is unaffected by the OUTP:PROT:DEL command. The OVP function
can be disabled using the VOLT:PROT:STAT command.

Related Commands
OUTP:PROT:CLE VOLT:PROT:STAT
[SOURce:]VOLTage:PROTection:STATe
This command enables or disables the overvoltage protection (OVP) function.
CAUTION: Disabling the overvoltage protection function may cause excessive output voltages, such
as can occur if remote sense leads are disconnected, to damage the equipment under test.

[SOURce:]VOLTage:TRIGger
This command sets the pending triggered voltage level of the dc source. The pending triggered level is a
stored voltage value that is transferred to the output terminals when a trigger occurs. In order for a trigger
to occur, the trigger subsystem must be initiated (see the INITiate command in the trigger subsystem).
Command Syntax
