:CURRent commands
:RLIMit:STATe <b>
This command is used to control the resistance current.
Usage
:SOURce:CURRent:RLIMit:STATe <b>
:STATe?
<b>
 0 or OFF: Disable resistance current limit
 1 or ON: Enable resistance current limit
Details
This command is used to enable or disable resistance current limit for the V-source. When enabled, a
1 M resistor is placed in series with the HI V-SOURCE OUT lead to extend the current limit
capabilities of the V-source. When disabled, normal current limit occurs at 1 mA.

None
:LIMit[:STATe]?
This command is used to query the current compliance.
Usage
:SOURce:CURRent:LIMit[:STATe]?
Details
Description This command is used to determine if the V-source has reached its current compliance
limit of 1mA. The response message is explained as follows:
0 = Current compliance not reached
1 = Current compliance reached
