: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)

measurements cannot be performed while the source is off. Turning the

:STATe <b>
:OUTPut[1]:ENABle[:STATe] <b> Control enable line
Parameters
<b> = 0 or OFF Turn off enable line
1 or ON Turn on enable line
Query
:STATe? Query state of enable
Description
This command is used to activate or inactivate the hardware output
enable line. When activated, the source cannot be turned on unless the
output enable line (pin 8 of the rear panel Enable - Digital I/O connec-
tor) is pulled to a logic low state. When the enable line goes to a logic
high state, the source turns off. See
Section 5 , Digital I/O Port and
Output Enable , for details using the enable line with a test fixture.
When disabled, the logic level on the enable line has no effect on the
output state of the source.
:TRIPped?
:OUTPut[1]:ENABle:TRIPped?
Description
This query command is used to determine if the output enable line state
has been tripped. The tripped condition (“1”) means that the source can
be turned on (enable line at logic low level). A “0” will be returned if the
source cannot be turned on (enable line at logic high level).
