Description This command is used to immediately update the amplitude of a fixed
source. This command is not valid if the list or sweep mode is selected.
NOTE The sourcing :MODE command is used to select a fixed source. See “Select
sourcing mode,” page 17-61.
If a manual source range is presently selected, then the specified ampli-
tude cannot exceed that range. For example, if the source is on the 10V
range (auto range disabled), you will not be able to set the source ampli-
tude to 20V. In auto range, the amplitude can be set to any level that is
within the capabilities of the source.
The MINimum and MAXimum parameters are only valid if the 100V
source range is presently selected. Sending the MINimum or MAXi-
mum parameters on the 10V source range will generate error -221 (Set-
ting Conflict).
