Series 3700A System Switch/Multimeter Reference Manual Section 11: TSP command reference
3700AS-901-01 Rev. D/June 2018 11-363
Details
This command suppresses errors that would otherwise be generated when the interlock is not closed.
If the interlock is not physically connected, channels will still not close.
This attribute exists only for installed cards that support detecting an interlock break. Otherwise, the
return value is nil. If the card supports detecting an interlock break, set this attribute to the
appropriate response.
To enable interlock override on the card, set to slot.ON. To disable it, set to slot.OFF. This setting
applies to all interlocks on the card.
Example
slot[3].interlock.override = slot.ON
Suppresses interlock errors.
