[SOURce:]CURRent:PROTection:STATe
This command enables or disables the overcurrent protection (OCP) function on all output channels. If
the dc source overcurrent protection function is enabled and the dc source goes into constant current
operation, then the output is disabled and the Questionable Condition status register OC bit is set (see
chapter 7 about programming the status registers). Note that the [SOURce:]CURRent command sets the
current limit, which determines when the dc source goes into constant current operation. An overcurrent
condition can be cleared with the OUTPut:PROTection:CLEar command after the cause of the condition
is removed.
NOTE: Use OUTPut:PROTection:DELay to prevent momentary current limit conditions caused
by programmed output changes from tripping the overcurrent protection.
Command Syntax
[SOURce:]CURRent:PROTection:STATe <bool>
Parameters
0 | 1 | OFF | ON
*RST Value
OFF
Examples
CURR:PROT:STAT 0 !current protection off
CURR:PROT:STAT 1 !current protection on
