4.15 Source Subsystem - Limit
This subsystem controls the voltage frequency and current limit of the power source. These
limits are set at the factory and depend on the power source rating. It is not accessable by
the user. The query format is accessable however.

LIMit:FREQuency
This command sets the upper and lower frequncy limit of the power source. Only the query
format of this command is available.
Command Syntax [SOURce:]LIMit:FREQuency ,
Parameters low freq limit, upper frequency limit [command protected]
Query Syntax [SOURce:]LIMit:FREQuency?
Returned Parameters ,
LIMit:CURRent
This command will set or return the maximum current limit the power source will operate at
in the low voltage range. Only the query format of this command is available.
Command Syntax [SOURce:]LIMit:CURRent
Parameters maximum current limit at low voltage range [command
protected]
Query Syntax [SOURce:]LIMit:CURRent?
Returned Parameters
LIMit:VOLTage
This command will set or return the available voltage ranges of the power source. A set of
three parameters is returned on the query, each value representing one of the up to three
available AC voltage ranges of the MX Series. The first paremeter represents the 150 V AC
range value, the second the 300 V AC range and the last parameter the optional voltage
range value. If a range is not available, the returned value is always zero. Some models may
have one, two or three available voltage ranges. Note that the equivalent DC range values
are not returned, even in the MX/RS unit is in DC mode. To determine the actual DC range
value, use the VOLT:RANG? Query command.
Only the query format of this command is available.
