SME MEMory / OUTPut
1038.6002.02 3.27 E-13
:OUTPut:BLANk:POLarity NORMal | INVerted
The command sets the polarity of the BLANk signal.
NORMal The active BLANk state is indicated by the more positive or higher output voltage.
INVers The active BLANk state is indicated by the more negative or lower output voltage.
Example: :OUTP:BLAN:POL NORM RST value is NORM
:OUTPut:IMPedance?
The command queries the impedance of the RF output
. This permits converting the output level between units V and W. The impedances cannot be
changed. With the SME, this is the fixed value of 50 Ohm for the RF output.
Example: :OUTP:IMP? Response: 50
:OUTPut:PROTection
The commands to configure the protective circuit are under this node. The RF output is protected
by a protective circuit which deactivates the output if an overvoltage is supplied from outside. This
does not change the value of OUTPut:STATe.
:OUTPut:PROTection:CLEar
The command resets the protective circuit after it has been triggered. The state of the output is
determined by OUTPut:STATe again. The command triggers an event and hence has no default
setting value.
Example: :OUTP:PROT:CLE
:OUTPut:PROTection:TRIPped?
The command queries the state of the protective circuit. The responses mean:
"0" The protective circuit has not responded
"1" The protective circuit has responded
Example: :OUTP:PROT:TRIP? Response: "1"
:OUTPut[:STATe] ON | OFF
The command switches on or off the RF output. The RF output can also be switched off by the
response of the protective circuit. But this has no influence on this parameter.
Note: In contrast to the PRESET key, command *RST sets this value to OFF, the output is
deactivated.
Example: :OUTP:STAT ON *RST value is OFF
:OUTPut[:STATe]:PON OFF | UNCHanged
This command selects the state the RF output is to assume after power-on of the unit. It only
exists for the RF output. *RST does not influence the set value.
OFF Output is switched off.
UNCHanged Same state as before switch- off
Example: :OUTP:PON OFF
