Details
The source building block determines if the output source is turned on or off when the trigger model
reaches this block.
This block does not determine the settings of the output source (such as the output voltage level and
source delay). The source settings are determined by either the present settings of the instrument or
by a source configuration list.
When you list trigger blocks, this block is listed as
SOURCE_OUTPUT
.
