This group of commands controls the output of data to output channels. They
are summarized in Table 16.
6.5.5.1
OUTPut[n]:CALC <numeric_value>
This command selects the calculation type for which results are output to a
given output channel. It is equivalent to setting CALCULATION with the
OUTPUT CHAN
soft-key function (see Section 5.3.2 ). The output channel
number is given by the OUTP suffix
n
. If it is omitted output channel 1 is as-
sumed. The command SYST:CONF:OCH? (Section 6.5.8.12) can be used to
determine the number of installed output channels. The <numeric_value> spec-
ifies the calculation type according to Table 17. The *RST command sets the
calculation type to 0 (temperature) for all output channels.
Example command: OUTP1:CALC 0
6.5.5.2

This query command returns the calculation type for a given output channel.
The output channel number is given by the OUTP suffix
n
. If it is omitted out-
put channel 1 is assumed. The response is a number showing the calculation
type (see Table 17).
