Alarm Limit Commands
OUTPut
:ALARm[1|2|3|4]:SOURce (
@<ch_list>)
:ALARm[1|2|3|4]:SOURce?
Assign the alarm number to report any alarm conditions on the
specified channels. If not assigned, all alarms on all channels are
reported on Alarm 1 by default.
The :SOUR? query returns a list of channel numbers in the
SCPI
definite length block format. The response begins with the “#” character,
followed by a single character representing the number of succeeding
characters to interpret as a length specifier, followed by a length
specifier representing the number of bytes in the block, followed by a
block of that many bytes. An empty scan list (one with no channels
selected) will be “#13(
@)”.
For example, if you send OUTP:ALARM1:SOUR (
@101:103),
the OUTP:ALARM1:SOUR? command will return the following:
#214(@101,102,103)
