Status Reporting

Output Off Register

The Output Off Enable Register allows you to determine that conditions and events in the LDX-3232 High Compliance Current Source can cause the current source output to be turned off. This reigster is configured in a manner similar to the status reporting registers. However, the register output is not reported in the Status Byte Register. Rather, it sets the hardware that controls the output switching. The events and conditions that may be set to cause the current source output to be turned off are shown in Figure 3.3.

The default (factory) settings for this register are shown in Table 3.3. These settings are not affected by the *PSC (Power-On Status Clear) command.
