Keysight N6705C - Output Commands

Output Commands
Output commands control the output, power-on, and protection clear functions.
OUTPut[:STATe] 0|OFF|1|ON [,NORelay], (@<chanlist>)
OUTPut[:STATe]? (@<chanlist>)
Enables or 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 outputoff: 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 its function. The OUTPut OFF
command may take between 20 and 25 milliseconds to complete its function. To mitigate this
built-in delay, you can program the output to zero volts rather than using the output on/off com-
mand.
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: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 described under Output Couple
Control. This parameter is saved in non-volatile memory.
Parameter Typical Return
1 | 2 | 3 | 4 <coupled channels>
Couples channel 1,2,and 4: OUTP:COUP:CHAN 1,2,4
