The only exception to the limit not being exceeded is the voltage limit when operating as a current
source. To avoid excessive (and potentially destructive) currents from flowing, the voltage limit
sources or sinks up to 102 mA for current source ranges on or below 100 mA. For the ranges 1 A
and above, the maximum current allowed is the current source setting.

Setting the limit
Set the limit from the front panel as follows:
1. Press the LIMIT key to directly access limit editing. Pressing the LIMIT key while in limit edit
mode toggles the display between the complementary function limit and the power limit display.
2. Press the navigation wheel and set the limit to the new value.
3. Press the ENTER key or the navigation wheel to complete editing.
4. Press the EXIT (LOCAL) key to return to the main display.
Set the limit using remote commands as follows:
The table below summarizes basic commands to program a limit. For a more complete description of
these commands, refer to the “TSP command reference” section of the Model 2601B-PULSE
Reference Manual.
Limit commands
