This query only command returns the % effort the controller does to achieve the set-point.
Example
TX> :SOUR:PRES:EFF?
RX> :SOUR:PRES:EFF -0.2342882
Percentage of effort the supply or vacuum valve makes to maintain the control point. The
return number should be –100 to +100. A positive number indicates the supply valve makes
more effort and a minus number indicates the vacuum valve makes more effort. If the
controller is off:
TX> :OUTP off
TX> :SOUR:PRES:EFF?
RX> :SOUR:PRES:EFF 0.0
The return number is ‘0.0’, since no valve is making any effort.
