Description This command is used to control auto output-off for the source. With
auto output-off enabled, an :INITiate (or :READ? or MEASure?) will
start source-measure operation. The output will turn on at the begin
-
ning of each SDM (source-delay-measure) cycle and turn off after
each measurement is completed.
With auto output-off disabled, the source output must be on before
an :INITiate or :READ? can be used to start source-measure opera
-
tion. The :MEASure? command will automatically turn on the source
output. Once operation is started, the source output will stay on even
after the instrument returns to the idle state. Auto output-off disabled
is the *RST and :SYSTem:PRESet default.
For the :MODE command, the source will turn off after every SDM
cycle with the ALWAYS option. With the TCOunt option, the source
will turn off when the trigger count has expired.
WARNING With auto output-off disabled, the source output will remain on
after all programmed source-measure operations are completed.
Beware of hazardous voltage that may be present on the output
terminals.
NOTE For the Model 2430 Pulse Mode, auto output-off is always enabled. This
command is ignored.
