Don Symes	Re: newbie question: How to Current limit? The guy who told you that sells them, right? You want to see if the current limit works, or do you want to set it to the right value? To see if it works, yeah, turn the current limit ALL the way DOWN (minimum current), set your voltage, then short the terminals. If it works, the output voltage should go to nearly zero and stay there as you SLOWLY raise the current limit just a little.
