2.1.10. LIMITS Command

The LIMITS command can be used to query the unit’s current, voltage and slew-rate limits.

Command Format:

R/W	Command	Response	Description
R	LIMITS:I:HW:?	#LIMITS:I:HW:<minHwI>:<maxHwI>	Return the Current hardware limits of the power unit (defined by the unit’s hardware)
R	LIMITS:V:HW:?	#LIMITS:V:HW:<minHwV>:<maxHwV>	Return the Voltage hardware limits of the power unit (defined by the unit’s hardware)
R	LIMITS:P:HW:?	#LIMITS:P:HW:<minHwP>:<maxHwP>	Return the Power hardware limits of the power unit (defined by the unit’s hardware)
R	LIMITS:I:SW:?	#LIMITS:I:SW:<minSwI>:<maxSwI>	Return the Current software limits of the power unit (defined by the user)
R	LIMITS:V:SW:?	#LIMITS:V:SW:<minSwV>:<maxSwV>	Return the Voltage software limits of the power unit (defined by the user)
R	LIMITS:I:SR:?	#LIMITS:I:SR:<minSrI>:<maxSrI>	Return the Current slew-rate limits of the power unit
R	LIMITS:V:SR:?	#LIMITS:V:SR:<minSrV>:<maxSrV>	Return the Voltage slew-rate limits of the power unit
