Output Commands

Output commands consist of output and source commands.

Output commands enable the output and oscillation functions.

Source commands program the actual output voltage and current settings.

OUTPut

This command enables or disables the dc source output. The state of a disabled output is a condition of zero output voltage and a model-dependent minimum source current (see *RST). The output and sense relays are closed when the output is enabled and opened when the output is disabled. The query returns 0 if the output is off, and 1 if the output is on.

Command Syntax	OUTPut[:STATe] <bool>, (@<channel list>)
Parameters	0 OFF 1 ON
*RST Value	OFF
Examples	OUTP ON,(@1:4)
Query Syntax	OUTPut[:STATe]? (@<channel list>)
Returned Parameters	<NR1> 0 1

OUTPut:OSCProtect

This command enables or disables the oscillation protection on the selected output.

Command Syntax	OUTPut:OSCProtect[:STATe] <bool>, (@<channel list>)
Parameters	0 OFF 1 ON
*RST Value	ON
Examples	OUTP:OSCP ON,(@1:4)
Query Syntax	OUTPut:OSCProtect[:STATe]? (@<channel list>)
Returned Parameters	<NR1> 0 1

OUTPut:PROTection:CLEar

This command clears the latch that disables the output when an overvoltage, overtemperature, or oscillation status condition is detected. All conditions that generate the fault must be removed before the latch can be cleared. The output is then restored to the state it was in before the fault condition occurred.

Command Syntax	OUTPut:PROTection:CLEar (@<channel list>)
Parameters	None
Examples	OUTP:PROT:CLE (@1:4)
