Controlling the Source Output
This section describes how to control the source output of Keysight B2985 and
B2987.
• “Enabling the Source Output”
• “Applying the DC Voltage”
• “Stopping the Source Output”
• “Setting the Output Range”
• “Setting the Sweep Operation”
• “Setting the Sweep Output”
• “Setting the Ranging Mode of the Sweep Source”
• “Setting the List Sweep Output”
• “Setting the Source Output Trigger”
• “Setting the Low Terminal State”
• “Specifying the Output-Off Status”
NOTE The string
:SOUR
in the command string described in this manual can be omitted.
For example,
:SOUR:VOLT
can be
:VOLT
.
Enabling the Source Output
Source output is enabled by the :OUTP ON command.
Example
ioObj.WriteString(":OUTP ON")
Applying the DC Voltage
DC voltage is immediately applied by the :SOUR:VOLT command during the
source output is enabled.
If you want to control the DC voltage output timing using a trigger, use the
:SOUR:VOLT:TRIG command. See Figure 1-3.
Example
ioObj.WriteString(":SOUR:VOLT 20") ’Outputs 20 V immediately
