Why docs ondoesn't function generators nevergenerator documentation ever mention max current onthe maximum output current?

There isThe output impedance mentioned, but how does this translate to max.maximum current? What happens if you short circuit the output of a function generator.?

Let's take the XR-2206 for example. 

The datasheet states an output impedance only for triangle wave of 600 ohms and nothing for the other wave forms. 

Why is this 'never' important?
