Hello Everyone,
I am using agilent 66332A dynamic measurement DC source, i used GPIB to set & read voltage and current from it. i could successfully do it with VOLT <value> & MEASE:CURR?. but today when i switched it on, i found an Err & Prot on the display screen, i am unable to set the voltage manually or using GPIB. can anyone help me find out the problem , what this Err about and how can i clear Prot. I used *CLS, the Err got away but even when i press shift + protect the Prot mode is not going away. i couldnt use my DC source now. Pls help me. Thanks in advance.

We will be glad to help you. I have a few questions so that we can get a better idea of what is happening:
1. Can you read the error out and tell us what it is?
2. Which protection is tripping?
3. Have you set anything in the startup state (state 0)?
4. Is the output off when the error occurs?
5. Is there a load hooked up on the output?
6. Do you have a program listing that we can take a look at?
Thanks.
Matt
