l This function also allows you to control the output state of coupled outputs in multiple mainframes
when the Digital connector pins have been properly configured. You must connect and configure
the ONCouple and OFFCouple digital connector pins of all synchronized mainframes as described
in the Synchronizing Multiple Mainframes section.
l Because some power modules have different minimum delay offsets, you must also specify a com-
mon delay offset for all of the synchronized channels. This value must be the largest delay offset
of the synchronized group. Use OUTPut:COUPle:MAX:DOFFset? to query the delay offset for each
channel. The largest value returned must be specified as the common delay offset for each chan-
nel.
l When this command is sent, all channels in the unit will go to the output off state.
OUTPut[:STATe]:COUPle:CHANnel [<channel> {,<channel>}]
OUTPut[:STATe]:COUPle:CHANnel?
Specifies which output channels in the mainframe are controlled by the output synchronization
function. The output channels that have been synchronized or coupled will turn on and off together
when any one of them is turned on or off, or when a signal is received from a digital connector pin that
has been configured as an On couple or an Off couple pin as described in the Synchronizing Multiple
Mainframes section. This parameter is saved in non-volatile memory.
Parameter Typical Return
1 | 2 | 3 | 4 , *RST 0 <coupled channels>
Couples channel 1,2,and 4: OUTP:COUP:CHAN 1,2,4
l There can be only one set of coupled channels in a mainframe. If another coupled set is pro-
grammed, the existing set is deleted and the new set applies. If you do not specify an output chan-
nel, this command will uncouple all output channels on the mainframe.
l When this command is sent, all channels in the unit will go to the output off state.
OUTPut[:STATe]:COUPle:DOFFset <value>
OUTPut[:STATe]:COUPle:DOFFset? [MIN|MAX,]
Sets a delay offset to synchronize coupled output state changes.Delay times can be programmed
from 0 to 1.023 seconds . Setting this time to the maximum delay offset specified for any instrument
that is being coupled will cause all coupled outputs to synchronize to the turn-on times specified by
OUTPut:DELay:RISE. This delay only applies to coupled channels, provided OUTput:COUPle is
enabled. This parameter is saved in non-volatile memory.
Parameter Typical Return
0 to 1.023 <delay value>
Specifies a delay of 60 milliseconds: OUTP:COUP:DOFF0.06
l When this command is sent, all channels in the unit will go to the output off state.
