BIAS Subsystem
:STATe
The :STATe command turns the DC BIAS switch to ON or OFF.
Setting BIAS:VOLTage or BIAS:CURRent do not implicitly turn
this ON. The :STATe? query returns the current DC BIAS switch
ON/OFF state. *RST default value is OFF. And when Instrument
control settings are loaded from the internal memory or memory
card, this switch is set to OFF.
