ILIM, ILIM? Current Setting Limit Value
Settings
Function and manual operation:
See explanation on page 25.
Programming
Setting command: ILIM v
Parameter: v (value)
Parameter type: Real number
Setting range: 0  v  ILIM
max
If the selected value is not a whole number multiple of the step
size, it is rounded off accordingly.
If necessary, the numeric value is rounded off once again for the
4-place digital display.
Default setting: Nominal current (after RESET, *RST)
Example (HP BASIC):
OUTPUT 713; "ILIM 20"
{current setting range limit: 20 A}
Comment
 ILIM may not be set to a value of less than ISET!
 Any setting command to this effect is not executed.
 Bit 1 would otherwise be set in event register B (limit error) and
bit 4 in the standard event register (execution error).
 The ILIM function does not effect the adjustment of ISET by
means of a control signal via the analog interface.
Query
Displays the selected final value for current setpoint ISET.
