Configure the inhibit input mode:
1. Press the Output Settings > Output Inhibit to configure the inhibit input mode.
2. Select the desired mode (Off, Latched or Live).
To clear the Inhibit protection function, first remove the external Inhibit signal. Then select Source Settings >
Protection Clear for all outputs. This clears the Inhibit protection function and returns the output to its previous
operating state.
From the remote interface:
To select the Inhibit function:
DIG:PIN3:FUNC INH
To select the pin polarity:
DIG:PIN3:POL POS
DIG:PIN3:POL NEG
To set Inhibit mode to Latching:
OUTP:INH:MODE LATC
To set Inhibit mode to Live:
OUTP:INH:MODE LIVE
To disable the Inhibit signal:
OUTP:INH:MODE OFF
Fault/inhibit system protection
The following figure illustrates some ways that you can connect the Fault/Inhibit pins of the connector.
As shown in the figure, when the Fault outputs and Inhibit inputs of several instruments are daisy-chained, an
internal fault condition in one of the units will disable all outputs without intervention by either the controller or
external circuitry. Note that when using the Fault/Inhibit signals in this manner, both signals must be set to the same
polarity.
