INSTrument:COUPle[:TRIGger] {ON|OFF}
Enable or disable a coupling between two logical outputs of
the power supply. The couple command consists of an
optional subsystem node followed by a signal parameter. The
only valid parameter for the optional subsystem node is the
TRIGger subsystem. If no node follows the couple command,
TRIGger subsystem is assumed to be coupled. The
parameter indicates to which logical outputs the specified
coupling is to apply. A list of outputs specifies a particular
set of logical outputs to be coupled. At *RST, all outputs are
uncoupled.
Example
The following program segment shows how to use the
INSTrument:COUPle command to couple two outputs with
voltage and current triggered levels. The power supply is set
to the newly programmed values as set by the
VOLTage:TRIGgered and CURRent:TRIGgered commands.
INSTrument:COUPle[:TRIGger]?
Query the output coupling state of the power supply. The
returned value is 0 (OFF) or 1 (ON).
INST:SEL OUT1 Select the output1.
VOLT:TRIG 6 Set the triggered level to 6 V.
CURR:TRIG 3 Set the triggered level to 3 A.
INST:SEL OUT2 Select the output2.
VOLT:TRIG 18 Set the triggered level to 18 V.
CURR:TRIG 0.7 Set the triggered level to 0.7 A.
INST:COUP:TRIG ON Couple the output1 and the
output2.
TRIG:SOUR IMM Set the trigger to immediate.
INIT Trigger the power supply to
output the trigger values for the
output1 and output2 supplies.
