[SOURce:]CURRent[:IMMediate]
[SOURce:]CURRent:TRIGgered
These commands set the immediate and the pending triggered current level of the dc source. They only
apply in current priority mode. The immediate level is the output current setting. The pending triggered
level is a stored value that is transferred to the output when a trigger occurs. To respond to a trigger, the
[SOUR:]CURR:MODE must be set to STEP, and the trigger system must be initiated.

[SOURce:]CURRent:LIMit[:IMMediate]
[SOURce:]CURRent:LIMit:TRIGgered
These commands set the immediate and the pending triggered current limit of the dc source. They only
apply in voltage priority mode. The current limit setting applies to both the positive and negative current
limits. The pending triggered limit is a stored value that applies when a trigger occurs. To respond to a
trigger, the [SOUR:]CURR:LIM:MODE must be set to STEP, and the trigger system must be initiated.

INIT CURR:LIM:MODE
[SOURce:]CURRent:LIMit:BWIDth
This command configures the output compensation band of the current limit circuit. If capacitive loads
cause the output to oscillate, use this command to select a lower compenstion band. Note that if the
output is on, changing the compensation will cause the output to cycle OFF, then ON. The following
compensation bandwidths may be programmed: 30 kHz or 10 kHz.
Command Syntax
[SOURce:]CURRent:LIMit:BWIDth <Nrf>, (@<channel list>)
