Returned Parameters : “CURR?” and “CURR:TRIG?” return the presently programmed
current levels. After a trigger signal or “ABORt”, “CURR:TRIG?” returns
the same value as “CURR?”.
“CURR? MAX”, “CURR? MIN”, “CURR:TRIG? MAX” and
“CURR:TRIG?” MIN return the maximum and minimum programmable
LEVel values.

Channel-Specific Current Limiting Command/Query. This command sets the over-current
protection limit or the under-current protection limit to the input current that the electronic load will sink.
When the input current reaches the over-current protection limit or falls below the under-current
protection limit for the specified delay period, the input of the electronic load is shut off and draws no
current.
The INPut:PROTection:CLEar command (or front panel key) re-enables the input current. The trigger
activated current functions (CURR[:LEV]:TRIG and CURR:TLEV) automatically keep track of
