B.48 READ[:SCALar]:CURRent[:DC]? QUERY
READ:CURR?
Syntax: Short Form: READ[:SCAL]:CURR[:DC]? Long Form: READ[:SCALar]:CURRent[:DC]?
Return Value: <num_value> (digits with decimal point and Exponent)
Description: Measures actual current. Same as MEAS:CURR? (see PAR. B.40)
B.49 READ[:VOLTage][:SCALar][:DC]? QUERY
READ:VOLT?
Syntax: Short Form: READ[:SCAL]:VOLT[:DC]? Long Form: READ[:SCALar]:VOLTage[:DC]?
Description: Measures actual voltage. Same as MEAS:VOLT? (see PAR. B.41)
B.50 [SOURce:]CURRent[:LEVel][:IMMediate][:AMPlitude] COMMAND
CURR
Syntax: Short Form: [SOUR:]CURR[:LEV][:IMM][:AMP] <exp_value>
Long Form: [SOURce:]CURRent[:LEVel][:IMMediate][:AMPlitude] <exp_value>
<exp_value> = digits with decimal point and Exponent, e.g., 2.71E+1 for 27.1
Description: Sets programmed current level at power supply output. This command programs output current to
a specific value; actual output current will depend on load conditions. If the value exceeds the maxi-
mum for the model being programmed, error message -222,”Data out of range” is posted in output
queue. If value programmed exceeds the CURR:LIM:HIGH value, a value corresponding to the cur-
rent limit will be programmed. Related Commands: *RCL, *SAV, CURR:LIM:HIGH. (See example, Fig-
ure B-1.)
B.51 [SOURce:]CURRent[:LEVel][:IMMediate][:AMPlitude] QUERY
CURR?
Syntax: Short Form: [SOUR:]CURR[:LEV][:IMM][:AMP]? MIN, MAX
Long Form: [SOURce:]CURRent[:LEVel][:IMMediate][:AMPlitude]? MIN, MAX
Return Value:<exp_value> = digits with decimal point and Exponent, e.g., 2.71E+1 for 27.1
Description: Returns either the programmed value, maximum value, or minimum value of current. The
CURR? query returns the programmed value of current. Actual output current will depend on load con-
ditions. The CURR?MAX query returns the maximum current allowed for a particular model. CURR?
Returns programmed current value. CURR? MAX returns maximum current allowed for power supply.
CURR? MIN returns minimum current allowed for power supply (always 0). Related Commands:
CURR. (See example, Figure B-1.)
B.52 [SOURce:]CURRent:LIMit:HIGH Command 
CURR:LIM:HIGH
Syntax: Short Form: [SOUR:]CURR:LIM:HIGH <exp_value>
Long Form: [SOURce:]CURRent:LIMit:HIGH <exp_value>
<exp_value> = digits with decimal point and Exponent, e.g., 2.71E+1 for 27.1
Description: Sets limit for maximum power supply output current. If the value is out of the acceptable current
range for the power supply model, error message -222,”Data out of range” is posted in the output
queue. If the user tries to set an output current value larger than the CURR:LIM:HIGH setting, a value
corresponding to the current limit will be programmed and error message -301,”Value bigger than
limit” is posted in the output queue. NOTE: If the current limit is changed, any previously established
trigger levels higher than the new limit must be reprogrammed to be lower than the new limit; other-
wise triggers will cause the output to exceed the new limit. Once the limit is established, the unit will
not accept trigger values higher than the programmed limit. Related Commands: CURR. (See exam-
ple, Figure B-5.)
B.53 [SOURce:]CURRent:LIMit:HIGH? Query 
CURR:LIM:HIGH?
Syntax: Short Form: [SOUR:]CURR:LIM:HIGH? Long Form: [SOURce:]CURRent:LIMit:HIGH?
Return Value:<exp_value> = digits with decimal point and Exponent, e.g., 2.71E+1 for 27.1
Description: Returns value representing current limit set by CURR:LIM:HIGH command. Related Commands:
CURR:LIM:HIGH, CURR. (See example, Figure B-5.)
