Set the rms current limit (and peak current on Agilent 6811B/6812B/6813B units)
CURR:LEV 10
When this command is sent, the rms current limit is set to 10 A. If more
current than the programmed limit is drawn, the output voltage amplitude is
reduced to keep the rms current within the specified limit. Press Shift
Current and q to access CURR:PEAK, which lets you set the peak
current limit on Agilent 6811B/6812B/6813B units. Note that the peak
current limit circuit on these units acts instantly and clips the output
voltage to maintain the programmed peak limit.
120 V rms
current limit active
NOTE: The rms current limit circuit is slower than the peak current limit circuit and, depending
on the setting of the peak current limit and the load on the output, your unit may generate
momentary peak currents that can well exceed the rms current limit.

SHAPE SQUARE
When this command is sent, the output generates a squarewave. Note that
the peak-to-peak amplitude of the squarewave is less that that of a
sinewave when it is programmed to the same rms voltage amplitude.
120 V rms
Program a protection function
CURR:LEV 10
CURR:PROT ON
These commands clear all previously set protection functions and then set
the current protection, which disables the output when an overcurrent
condition is detected. The OCP annunciator will light when this command
is programmed.
