SCPI Instrument Command List
Command
:VOLT[1]:LIM
Long
[:SOURce]:VOLTage[1]:LIMit[:HIGH]
Form
Set & Query
Parameter Numeric
Parameter suffix
V with engineering prefixes.
*RST value
+500 mV
Description Use this command to set/read the high level voltage limit. If you switch
on voltage limiting, the high level voltage cannot be set above the
programmed limit. Note that the voltage is not limited by the OUTPUT
hardware, this is a software limit.
Example
To set and activate the high level voltage limit:
:HOLD VOLT
:VOLT:LIM 3V
:VOLT:LIM:STAT ON
Command
:VOLT[1]:LIM:LOW
Long
[:SOURce]:VOLTage[1]:LIMit:LOW
Form
Set & Query
Parameter Numeric
Parameter suffix
V with engineering prefixes.
*RST value –500 mV
Description
Use this command to set/read the low level voltage limit. If you switch on
voltage limiting, the low level voltage cannot be set below the
programmed limit. Note that the voltage is not limited by the OUTPUT
hardware, this is a software limit.
Example
To set and activate the low level limit:
:HOLD VOLT
:VOLT:LIM:LOW 0V
:VOLT:LIM:STAT ON
