DCPowerOutputSourceOvpLimit Property
Determines the voltage limit, in volts, beyond which overvoltage protection (OVP) engages. Limit is specified as a positive value, but symmetric positive and negative limits are enforced simultaneously. For example, setting the OVP Limit to 65 will configure the OVP feature to trigger an OVP error if the output exceeds ±65 V.
