Output Commands

Output commands enable the output, power-on, and protection functions.

OUTPut[:STATe] ONOFF

OUTPut[:STATe]?

This command enables or disables the specified output(s). The enabled state is On (1); the disabled state is Off (0). The state of a disabled output is a condition of zero output voltage and a zero source current (see *RST). The query returns 0 if the output is off, and 1 if the output is on. The *RST value = Off.

OUTPut:PON:STATe RSTAUTO

OUTPut:PON:STATe?

This command determines if the power-on state will be determined by the reset state, or the settings the unit had when it was turned off. RST programs the unit to the reset state; AUTO programs the unit to the settings it had when it was turned off. The power-on state information is saved on non-volatile memory.

Refer to *RST and *RCL under System Commands for details.

OUTPut:PROTection:CLEar

This command clears the latched signals that have disabled the output. The over-voltage and over-current conditions are always latching. The over-temperature condition, AC-fail condition, Enable pins, and SO pins are latching if OUTPut:PON:STATe is RST, and non- latching if OUTPut:PON:STATe is AUTO.

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.
