17-52 SCPI Command Reference Models 2500 and 2502 User’s Manual
Description Query commands are used to read the contents of the status event regis-
ters. This command is used to set the response message format for those
query commands.
When a status register is queried, the response message is a value that
indicates which bits in the register are set. For example, if bits B5, B4,
B2, B1, and B0 of a register are set (110111), the following values will
be returned for the selected data format:
ASCii 55 (decimal value)
Hexadecimal #H37 (hexadecimal value)
OCTal #Q67 (octal value)
BINary #B110111 (binary value)
See Section 14 and “Status Structure” in this section for more
information.
OUTPut subsystem
This subsystem is used to control the voltage source outputs and the output enable line.
These commands are summarized in Table 17-4.
Turn source on or off
[:STATe] <b>
:OUTPut[1][:STATe] <b> Turn source 1 on or off
:OUTPut2[:STATe] <b> Turn source 2 on or off
Parameters <b> = 0 or OFF Turn source off (standby)
1 or ON Turn source on (operate)
Query :OUTPut[1]? Query state of source 1
:OUTPut2? Query state of source 2
Description These commands are used to turn the channel 1 and channel 1 source
outputs on or off.
Turning a source off places the Model 2500 in the idle state. The only
exception to this is when source auto clear is enabled. In this mode, the
source turns on during each source phase of the SDM cycle and then
turns off after each measurement. See :SOURce[1]:CLEar:AUTO and
:SOURce2:CLEar:AUTO in “SOURce subsystem,” page 17-60.
NOTE The :SOURce[1]:CLEar or :SOURce2:CLEar command will also turn the
respective source off.
