		INPut:OFFSet
Purpose	Sets the input threshold for a group of channels
Type	Setting
Command Syntax	INPut:OFFSet <voltage_level>,<channel_list>
Command Parameters	<voltage_level> = +9.96 volts to -10.00 volts.
	<channel_list> = standard channel list syntax supporting channels 1 to 16.
*RST Value	0.496V for all channels
Query Syntax	INPut:OFFSet? <channel>
Query Parameters	<channel> = 1 to 16
Query Response	ASCII numeric value from -10.00 to +9.96
Description	The INPut:OFFSet command sets the input threshold for a channel or group of
	channels, over which the input signal must cross to cause an interrupt event. This
	command sets the value in the 8-bit DAC to which the input signal is compared. It is
	important to note that the actual input offset value is affected by the INPut:RANGe
	command, as the response has been normalized to ±10 V range. The actual input offset
	for the allowable ranges are as follows:
		Range	Entered Threshold		Actual Threshold
		±10.0	x		1.0x
		±100.0	x		10.0x
Examples	Command / Query			Response (Description)
	INP:RANG 100,(@9:16)			(Selects an input range of ±100 V for Channels 9 -
				16)
	INP:OFFS 2.5,(@9:16)			(Selects an input threshold of 25 V for Channels 9
				- 16)
	INP:OFFS? 11			2.500 (Returns the set input threshold for Channel
				11 of 25 V)
	INP:RANG 10,(@1:8)			(Selects an input range of ±10 V for Channels 1 -
				8)
	INP:OFFS 2.5,(@1:8)			(Selects an input threshold of 2.5 V for Channels 1
				- 8)
	INP:OFFS? 5			2.500 (Returns the set input threshold for Channel
				11 of 2.5 V)
