:EXTernal:PROTection
(see page 658)
Command Syntax
:EXTernal:PROTection[:CLEar]
When the external trigger input impedance is set to 50Ω, the external
trigger input is protected against overvoltage. When an overvoltage
condition is sensed, the input impedance for the external trigger is
automatically changed to 1 M
Ω. The :EXTernal:PROTection[:CLEar]
command is used to clear (reset) the overload protection. It allows the
external trigger to be used again in 50
Ω mode after the signal that caused
the overload has been removed from the external trigger input. Reset the
external trigger input impedance to 50
Ω (see ":EXTernal:IMPedance" on
page 221) after clearing the overvoltage protection.
Query Syntax
:EXTernal:PROTection?
The :EXTernal:PROTection query returns the state of the input protection
for external trigger. If the external trigger input has experienced an
overload, TRIP (tripped) will be returned; otherwise NORM (normal) is
returned.
Return Format
{NORM | TRIP}<NL>
