Comments

Downloaded Scans: The OUTPut subsystem does not work with

downloaded scan lists. The scan list is downloaded automatically if you use TRIG:SOUR DBUS or TRIG:SOUR IMM (FET multiplexers only). OUTPut works with all other scanning methods.

Enabling "Trig Out" Port: When enabled, the "Trig Out" port is pulsed each time a channel is closed during scanning. When disabled, the "Trig Out" port is not pulsed.

Output Pulse: The pulse is a +5 V negative-going pulse.

"Trig Out" Port Reserved by Switchboxes: The "Trig Out" resource is a system resource, and can only be reserved by one instrument at a time.

Related Commands: [ROUTe:]SCAN, TRIGger:SOURce

*RST Condition: OUTPut[:STATe] OFF (port disabled)

Example Enabling "Trig Out" Port

output.

[:STATe]? OUTPut[:STATe]? queries the present state of the "Trig Out" port. The command returns 1 if the port is enabled, or 0 if disabled.

Example Query "Trig Out" Port State
