have to execute [:SOURCE]:HOLD CURRent command to enable the
[:SOURCE]:CURRent subsystem.
The available current range is limited by the combination of:
• Specified Voltage limits
• Actual OUTPUT Impedance setting :OUTPut:IMPedance
• Actual Expected Load impedance setting:
Example
To program the high level current of the output signal:
:HOLD CURR
:CURR:HIGH 150MA
Command
:CURR[1]:LOW
Long
[:SOURce]:CURRent[1][:LEVel][:IMMediate]:LOW

Specified Limits 10 V Outputs (from high Z into short): –400 mA to 396 mA typical
3.8 V Outputs (from 50 Ω into short): –84 mA to 150 mA typical
Description Use this command to program the low level current of the OUTPUT
signal. Note that to set the OUTPUT levels in terms of current, you first
have to execute the [:SOURce]:HOLD CURRent command to enable
the [:SOURce]:CURRent subsystem.
The available current range is limited by the combination of:
:OUTPut:IMPedance:EXTernal
