OUTPut Commands
OUTPut Commands
Output commands control the output, power-on, and protection clear functions.
OUTPut[:STATe] 0|OFF|1|ON
OUTPut[:STATe]?
Enables or disables the output. The state of a disabled output is a condition of zero output voltage and zero current.
Parameter Typical Return
0|OFF|1|ON , *RST OFF 0or1
Turns the output off: OUTPOFF
l When the output is enabled, the instrument status changes from OFF to the operating status (CV, CC, etc.).
HAZARDOUS VOLTAGES All models generate voltages in excess of 60 VDC, with some
models rated at up to 1,500 VDC! Ensure that all instrument connections, load wiring,
and load connections are either insulated or covered so that no accidental contact
with lethal output voltages can occur.
OUTPut:PON:STATe RST|RCL0
OUTPut:PON:STATe?
Sets the output power-on state. This determines whether the power-on state is set to the *RST state (RST) or the
state stored in memory location 0 (RCL0). Instrument states can be stored using the *SAV command. This parameter
is saved in non-volatile memory.
Parameter Typical Return
RST|RCL0 RST or RCL0
Sets the power-on state to the *RST state: OUTP:PON:STAT RST
SHOCK HAZARD If the output is enabled when an instrument state is saved to location
0 (zero), the output will automatically be enabled at turn-on if the power-on state is
set to recall location zero (RCL0).
OUTPut:PROTection:CLEar
Resets the latched protection. This clears the latched protection status that disables the output when a protection con-
dition occurs (see Programming Output Protection).
Parameter Typical Return
(none) (none)
Clears the latched protection status: OUTP:PROT:CLE
l All conditions that generate the fault must be removed before the latched status can be cleared. The output is
restored to the state it was in before the fault condition occurred.
