OUTPut:PROTection:CLEar (@<chanlist>)
This command clears the latched protection status that disables the
output when an over-voltage, over-temperature, over-current, power-
fail, or Inhibit status condition is detected. All conditions that
generate the fault must be removed before the latched status can be
cleared. The output is restored to the state it was in before the fault
condition occurred.
NOTE
If a protection shutdown occurs during an output list, the list continues running
even though the output is disabled. When the protection status is cleared and
the output becomes enabled again, the output will be set to the values of the
step that the list is presently at.
OUTPut:PROTection:COUPle {ON|OFF}
OUTPut:PROTection:COUPle?
This command enables/disables output coupling for protection faults.
When enabled, ALL output channels are disabled when a protection
fault occurs on any output channel. The enabled state is On (1); the
disabled state is Off (0). When disabled, only the affected output
channel is disabled when a protection fault is triggered.
The *RST value = OFF.
OUTPut:PROTection:DELay {<delay>|MIN|MAX}, (@<chanlist>)
OUTPut:PROTection:DELay? (@<chanlist>)
This command sets the over-current protection programming delay.
This prevents momentary changes in status that can occur during
reprogramming from triggering the over-current protection function.
Programmed values can range from 0 to 255 milliseconds.
The *RST value = 20 ms.
OUTPut:RELay[:STATe] {ON|OFF},(@<chanlist>)
OUTPut:RELay[:STATe]? (@<chanlist>)
This command allows the relay state to be programmed
independently of the output state. When the relay state is On (1), the
relays contacts close. When the relay state is Off (0), the relay
contacts open.
Do not use the relays as the means of connecting/disconnecting the
output while it is active. Use this command if you want to turn the
output off while having the relays remain closed, or turn the output
on while having the relays remain open.
In most applications, the output relays should be controlled in
coordination with the output state. This functionality is provided by
OUTPut[:STATe].
The *RST value = OFF.
