If under-voltage fault: $PWR =UNDERVOLTAGE<CR>
3.5 SWITCH OUTLET
Turns a specific outlet on or off. Switching is immediate with no delay.
3.5.1
Command:
!SWITCH
outlet state
<CR>
outlet

are valid, and no fault exists, a
confirmation message is sent. Refer to §5.1.2.
If over-voltage fault:
$PWR = OVERVOLTAGE<CR>
If under-voltage fault: $PWR = UNDERVOLTAGE<CR>
If no fault
$OUTLET1 = ON<CR>
3.6 SET TRIGGER
Assigns the trigger(s) for an outlet.
3.6.1
Command:
!SET_TRIGGER
outlet triggersource
<CR>
outlet
= { 1..8 }

where
NONE
= Outlet is always ON
BUTTON_n
= Trigger on front panel
button n where n is {1,2}.
BUTTON_GREEN
= Both buttons 1 & 2 being

Sets DC trigger and green button for outlet 3.
To clear triggers the NONE command must be used
.
3.6.3
Response:
If
outlet
and
triggersource
are valid:
$TRIGGER FOR outlet = triggersource<CR>
If
outlet
or
triggersource
are invalid, $INVALID_
PARAMETER<CR>
