 -100 to 100: Set voltage for 100V range
 -1000 to 10000: Set voltage for 1000V range
 DEFault: 0V
 MINimum: Greatest allowable negative value
 MAXimum: Greatest allowable positive value
Details
This command is used to set the V-source level for Manual V-source Ohms. With Auto V-source
Ohms selected, you are not able to adjust the V-source level.
The amplitude level is limited by the selected V-source range. When on the 100V range, attempts to
set the amplitude to a value that exceeds 100V results in a Settings Conflict error. The amplitude may
also be limited by the :SOURce:VOLTage:LIMit[:AMPLitude] command. Attempts to set an
amplitude that exceeds this programmed limit sets the amplitude to that limit.
The MINimum and MAXimum parameters are also affected by range and voltage limit. Setting the V-
source to the MINimum (or MAXimum) amplitude selects the greatest negative (or positive) value
allowed by the programmed limit or range. The V-source output (operate or standby) is controlled
from the :OPERate command.

ON or 1: Enable V-source (operate)
OFF or 0: Disable V-source (standby)
Details
This command is used to enable or disable the V-source for Manual V-source Ohms. When enabled, the V-source
is placed in operate. When disabled, the V-source is placed in standby.
