Output Commands
Output commands consist of instrument, output and source commands.
Instrument commands control the output coupling on Agilent 66319B/66319D units.
Output commands control the output and digital port functions.
Source commands program the actual voltage, current, and digital port output.

INSTrument:COUPle:OUTPut:STATe

This command controls the ON/OFF function of Output 1 and Output 2. When outputs 1 and 2 are
coupled, ALL OUTPut commands will turn both outputs ON or OFF together. When not coupled, use
OUTPut1 or OUTPut2 to turn the specified output ON or OFF individually.
To have the unit turn on with the outputs uncoupled, set the output coupling to NONE, save this state in
location 0, and set the power-on state to RCL 0. Note that when an output state is recalled, the outputs
are set to the state in which they were in when the state was saved, regardless of the output coupling
setting.

OUTPut[1 | 2]

This command enables or disables the dc source output. If outputs 1 and 2 are coupled, it affects both the
main output and output 2 on Agilent 66319B/D units. If the outputs are not coupled and no output
channel is specified, the command applies to the main output. The state of a disabled output is a
condition of zero output voltage and a model-dependent minimum source current (see *RST).
Command Syntax OUTPut[1|2][:STATe] <bool>
Parameters 0 | OFF | 1 | ON
*RST Value 0
