Subsystem Commands
[:SOURce]:<CURRent|VOLTage>:<STARt|STOP>
For <CURRent|VOLTage>, specify CURRent for current output, or VOLTage for 
voltage output.
Parameter  range  value (see “Source Output Ranges” on page 2-24) |MINimum| 
MAXimum|DEFault. Parameter data type is NRf+. Query does 
not support range=value.
value for current output: See Table 2-6.
value for voltage output: See Table 2-4.
Query response  range <newline>
range returns the present setting. If a parameter is specified, range returns the value 
assigned to DEF, MIN, or MAX. Response data type is NR3.
Example  :CURR:RANG:AUTO:LLIM 1E-6
:SOUR2:VOLT:RANG:AUTO:LLIM?
[:SOURce]:<CURRent|VOLTage>:<STARt|STOP>
Sets the start or stop value for the current or voltage sweep output.
Syntax  [:SOURce[c]]:<CURRent|VOLTage>:<STARt|STOP> data
[:SOURce[c]]:<CURRent|VOLTage>:<STARt|STOP>? [data]
For <CURRent|VOLTage>, specify CURRent for current output, or VOLTage for 
voltage output.
For <STARt|STOP>, specify STARt for the sweep start value, or STOP for the 
sweep stop value.
Parameter  data  Sweep start or stop value. value (see “Source Output Ranges” 
on page 2-24) |MINimum|MAXimum|DEFault (default is 0.0). 
Parameter data type is NRf+. Query does not support 
data=value.
The start and stop values can be expressed by the following formula, using the 
center and span values set by the 
[:SOURce]:<CURRent|VOLTage>:<CENTer|SPAN> command. So the last 
command setting is effective for these sweep parameters.
start = center - span/2
stop = center + span/2
