Halting an Output in Progress
E3632A User’s Guide 121
Halting an Output in Progress
You can send a device clear at any time to stop an output in
progress over the GPIB interface. The status registers, the
error queue, and all configuration states are left unchanged
when a device clear message is received. Device clear
performs the following actions.
• The power supply’s input and output buffers are cleared.
• The power supply is prepared to accept a new command
string.
• The following statement shows how to send a device clear
over the GPIB interface using Agilent BASIC.
CLEAR 705 IEEE- 488 device clear
• The following statement shows how to send a device clear
over the GPIB interface using the GPIB Command Library
for C or QuickBASIC.
IOCLEAR (705)
NOTE
For RS-232 operation, sending the <Ctrl-C> character will perform the
same operation as the IEEE-488 device clear message. The power supply’s
DTR (data terminal ready) handshake line is set true following a device
clear message. Refer to “DTR/DSR handshake protocol” on page 60 for
more information.
NOTE
All remote interface configurations can be entered only from the front
panel. Refer to “Storing and Recalling Operating States” on page 33 to
configure for GPIB or RS-232 interface before operating the power supply
remotely.
