The OFF and PENDing/ON states correspond to the status indication "Off" and "On" in
the generator softkeys. The relationship between generator commands and generator
states is shown in the following diagram:
Generator control commands are of the following type (see also
):
SCPI subsystem
<Application>, e.g.
Generator instance
State
SOURce
:GPRF
:GENerator<i>
:STATe ON | OFF
Example
:
SOURCe:GPRF:GENerator:STATe ON | OFF
SOURce:<Application>:GENerator<i>:STATe ON
Starts the generator, reserves all necessary hardware and system resources and
changes to the generator state "PENDing", then "ON". If the generator is already turned
on the command has no effect.
If the hardware and system resources are already assigned to another firmware appli-
cation, this firmware application is released in order to start the generator; see
If the generator cannot be started due to an unrecoverable resource conflict (e.g. a miss-
ing software option) it remains in the OFF state. The SCPI error "-213, Init ignored, ...",
is generated. See also
