[SOURce:]CURRent:PROTection:STATe
This command enables or disables the overcurrent protection (OCP) function on all output channels. If
the dc source overcurrent protection function is enabled and the dc source goes into constant current
operation, then the output is disabled and the Questionable Condition status register OC bit is set (see
chapter 7 about programming the status registers). Note that the [SOURce:]CURRent command sets the
current limit, which determines when the dc source goes into constant current operation. An overcurrent
condition can be cleared with the OUTPut:PROTection:CLEar command after the cause of the condition
is removed.
NOTE: Use OUTPut:PROTection:DELay to prevent momentary current limit conditions caused
by programmed output changes from tripping the overcurrent protection.

[SOURce:]CURRent:TRIGger
This command sets the pending triggered current level of the dc source. The pending triggered level is a
stored current value that is transferred to the output terminals when a trigger occurs. In order for a trigger
to occur, the trigger subsystem must be initiated (see the INITiate command in the trigger subsystem).

[SOURce:]CURRent2:TRIGger
Agilent 66309B/D only
This command sets the triggered current level of the auxiliary output. The triggered level is a stored
value that is transferred to the output when a trigger occurs. In order for a trigger to occur, the trigger
subsystem must be initiated (see the INITiate command).
