Returned Parameters
<NR3> CURR:PROT? returns the value of existing current limit.
CURR:PROT? MAX and CURR:PROT? MIN return the maximum
and minimum programmable values for the current limit.
<NR3> CURR:PROT:DEL? returns the value of existing delay.
CURR:PROT:DEL? MAX and CURR:PROT:DEL? MIN return the
maximum and minimum programmable delay values.
<NR1> CURR:PROT:STAT? returns the state of the protection circuit where

Description
Important
This command selects the full-scale current range of the electronic load. Programming any
value within the low range automatically selects the low range and programming any value
within the high range automatically selects that range. In the Agilent 6060A for example,
programming a value from 6 to 60 amperes automatically selects the 60-ampere range.
Whenever the electronic load changes range, it momentarily goes into the OFF (minimum
current) state.
When CURR:RANG is executed, the values of the current levels (IMMediate,
TRIGgered and TLEVel) are adjusted as follows:
If
The existing current setting is within the new range.
The existing current setting is not within the new range.
Then
The current level does not change.
The current level is set to the maximum of the new range.
