:SOURce Commands
The :SOURce commands are used to set and query the channel output voltage/current, and the
overvoltage/overcurrent protection information. These commands can be used to modify a single parameter,
with a great flexibility.
Command List:
 [:SOURce[<n>]]:CURRent[:LEVel][:IMMediate][:AMPLitude]
 [:SOURce[<n>]]:CURRent:PROTection:CLEar
 [:SOURce[<n>]]:CURRent:PROTection[:LEVel]
 [:SOURce[<n>]]:CURRent:PROTection:STATe
 [:SOURce[<n>]]:CURRent:PROTection:TRIPped?
 [:SOURce[<n>]]:VOLTage[:LEVel][:IMMediate][:AMPLitude]
 [:SOURce[<n>]]:VOLTage:PROTection:CLEar
 [:SOURce[<n>]]:VOLTage:PROTection[:LEVel]
 [:SOURce[<n>]]:VOLTage:PROTection:STATe
 [:SOURce[<n>]]:VOLTage:PROTection:TRIPped?
[:SOURce[<n>]]:CURRent[:LEVel][:IMMediate][:AMPLitude]
Syntax
[:SOURce[<n>]]:CURRent[:LEVel][:IMMediate][:AMPLitude] {<current>|MINimum|MAXimum}
[:SOURce[<n>]]:CURRent[:LEVel][:IMMediate][:AMPLitude]? [MINimum|MAXimum]
Description
Sets the channel output current.
Queries the channel current setting value.
Parameter
Name Type Range Default
<n> Discrete {1} 1
<current> Real
DP711: 0 A to 5.3 A
DP712: 0 A to 3.2 A
DP711: 5 A
DP712: 3 A
Remarks
 For the setting command, MINimum indicates setting the channel output current to a minimum value;
MAXimum indicates setting the channel output current to a maximum value.
For the query command, MINimum indicates querying the minimum settable value of the current
channel current; MAXimum indicates querying the maximum settable value of the current channel
current.
 You can send the
:APPLy command to set the channel output voltage and/or current.
Example
:CURRent 3 /*Sets the channel output current to 3 A*/
:CURRent? /*Queries the channel current setting value*/
Return Format
A real number
