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
range is disabled, limiting the nominal output to ±37 V.
When the interlock is not asserted:
• The front-panel INTERLOCK indicator is on.
• High voltage ranges are disabled.
• An event message is generated when you attempt to turn on the source with a voltage higher than
±20 V.
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 range is disabled. Lower voltage ranges are available.
Example
If the interlock is not asserted, returns 0.
If the interlock is asserted, returns 1.
