Keysight N6700C Series - Output Commands

Output Commands
Output commands control the output, power-on, and protection clear functions.
Keysight N679xA Load Module inputs are referred to as "Outputs" throughout this
document .
OUTPut[:STATe] 0|OFF|1|ON [,NORelay], (@<chanlist>)
OUTPut[:STATe]? (@<chanlist>)
Enables/disables the output. The state of a disabled output is a condition of zero output voltage and
zero current. If output and sense relays are installed (Option 761), the relays will open when the
output is disabled and close when the output is enabled.
NORelay - If you require shorter output turn-on delay times, and do not need the galvanic relay
disconnect feature, the optional NORelay parameter lets you turn the output state on or off and leave
the state of the relays unchanged. When not specified, the relays open and close as the output is
turned off and on. Relays only open and close when the output is at zero voltage; zero current.
Parameter Typical Return
0|OFF|1|ON , *RST OFF 0or1
Turns the output off: OUTPOFF, (@1)
l Because of internal circuit start-up procedures and any installed relay options, the OUTPut ON
command may take between 35 and 50 milliseconds to complete. The OUTPut OFF command may
take between 20 and 25 milliseconds to complete. To mitigate this built-in delay, you can program
the output to zero volts rather than using the output on/off command.
l To use the optional NORelay parameter, you must first set the relays to the closed state by pro-
gramming OUTPut ON without the NORelay parameter. The relays will be set closed. For the out-
put relays to remain closed from then on, you must subsequently include the NORelay parameter
each time you program the output on or off.
OUTPut[:STATe]:COUPle[:STATe] 0|OFF|1|ON
OUTPut[:STATe]:COUPle[:STATe]?
Enables or disables output coupling or synchronization between multiple output channels. Enabling
this function allows you to control the output state of multiple channels by controlling the output
state of one output channel. This parameter is saved in non-volatile memory.
Parameter Typical Return
0|OFF|1|ON 0or1
Turns the output coupling state on: OUTP:COUPON
