(Output command) Sets the output of the Calibrator and establishes a new reference
point for the error mode. If only one amplitude is supplied, the Calibrator sources a single
output. If two amplitudes are supplied, the Calibrator sources two outputs. The second
amplitude will be sourced at the AUX terminals for dual voltage outputs. If the frequency
is not supplied, the Calibrator will use the frequency that is currently in use.
To source or measure a temperature, select the desired sensor and sensor parameters first.
(See the
TSENS_TYPE, RTD_*
, and
TC_*
commands.)
To source a signal with the Calibrator scope options, refer to the
SCOPE
command.
If you change the frequency of an ac function and the harmonic output is not explicitly
set at the same time with the
HARMONIC
command, the harmonic will be set to 1.
Use multipliers e.g., k, M,
μ
with the
OUT
command, as desired.

For single output, changes
amplitude keeping unit and
frequency the same.
Examples:
OUT 15.2 V
(volts; 15.2 V @ same frequency)
OUT 20 DBM
(volts; 20 dBm @ same frequency)
OUT 10 V, 60 Hz
(volts ac; 10 V @ 60 Hz)
OUT 10 DBM, 50 HZ
(volts ac; 10 dBm @ 50 Hz)
OUT 1.2 MA
(current; 1.2 mA @ same frequency)
OUT 1 A, 400 HZ
(current ac; 1 A @ 400 Hz)
