When a status register is queried, the response message is a value that
indicates which bits in the register are set. For example, if bits B5, B4,
B2, B1, and B0 of a register are set (110111), the following values will
be returned for the selected data format:
ASCii 55 (decimal value)
Hexadecimal #H37 (hexadecimal value)
OCTal #Q67 (octal value)
BINary #B110111 (binary value)
See Section 16, “Common Commands,” and “STATus subsystem,”
page 18-104, for more information.
OUTPut subsystem
This subsystem is used to control the output of the selected source, and the interlock.
These commands are summarized in Table 18-4.
Turn source on or off
[:STATe] <b>
:OUTPut[1][:STATe] <b> Turn source on or off
Parameters <b> = 0 or OFF Turn source off (standby)
1 or ON Turn source on (operate)
Query :OUTPut? Query state of source
Description This command is used to turn the source output on or off. Measurements
cannot be made while the source is off.
Turning the source off places the SourceMeter in the idle state. The only
exception to this is when source auto clear is enabled. In this mode, the
source turns on during each source phase of the SDM cycle and turns off
after each measurement. (See “:SOURce[1]:CLEar:AUTO <b>,”
page 18-73.)
NOTE The :SOURce:CLEar command will also turn the source off.
For the Model 2430 Pulse Mode, the instrument is taken out of the idle state
when the output is turned on.
