:OUTPut[1]:INTerlock:TRIPped?
Details
This command gives you the status of the interlock. When the safety interlock signal is asserted, all
voltage ranges of the instrument are available. However, when the safety interlock signal is not
asserted, the 200 V and 1000 V ranges are hardware limited to a nominal output of less than ±42 V.
When the interlock is not asserted:
• The front-panel INTERLOCK indicator is off.
• High voltage ranges are disabled.
• If you attempt to turn on the source with a voltage more than ±21 V, an event message is
generated.
If 1 is returned, the interlock signal is asserted and all voltage ranges are available.
If 0 is returned, the interlock is not asserted and the 200 V and 1000 V ranges are limited. Lower
voltage ranges are available.
Example
If the interlock is not asserted, returns 0.
If the interlock is asserted, returns
