Limit Subsystem

These subsystem commands may be used to query the hardware limits (capabilities) of the AC
power source. These commands are protected and can only be used in query format.

Subsystem Syntax

LIMit

:CURRent

Current limit setting

:FREQuency

:HIGH

Frequency limit high

:LOW

Frequency limit low

:PHASe

Phase mode

:VOLTage

:HIGH

Voltage limit high voltage range

:LOW

Voltage limit low voltage range

LIMit:CURRent

Query form returns the configuration current limit. This value determines the maximum current
available from one amplifier in the low voltage range. Note that this is not the same as the
available current maximum current, which is a function of voltage range and phase mode. To
query the maximum available RMS current, use the CURR? MAX command.

Query Syntax

LIMit:CURRent?

Returned Parameters

Examples

LIM:CURR?

Related Commands

CURR

LIMit:FREQuency:HIGH

Query form returns the maximum available output frequency. This value determines the maximum
frequency available using a sinusoidal waveform. Note that this is not the same as the available
maximum frequency, which is a function of the frequency harmonic content of the waveform. To
query the maximum available frequency, use the FREQ? MAX command.

LIM:FREQ:LOW?

LIMit:FREQuency:LOW

Query form returns the maximum available output frequency. This value determines the minimum
frequency available.

LIMit:PHASe

Query form returns the phase configuration setting. This value determines the phase mode of
operation according to the table below:

Setting

Operation

0

Single-phase mode.

120

Three phase mode. Determines relative phase angle between phases A,
