Couple Output Protection

Protection coupling lets you disable all output channels when a protection condition occurs on a single output channel. To couple output protection:

Clear Output Protection Functions

If an over-voltage, over-current, over-temperature, power-fail condition, power-limit condition, protection condition, or inhibit signal occurs, the power system turns off the affected output channel. The appropriate operating status indicator on the front panel will be on (e.g. OV, OC, OT, PF, CP+, PROT, INH). To clear the protection function and restore normal operation, first remove that condition that caused the protection fault. Then, clear the protection function as follows:

Front Panel:	SCPI Command:
Select Protect\Clear.	To clear a protection fault on output 1:
Select the Clear button.	OUTP:PROT:CLE(@1)
