Description
This command is used to enable or disable the median filter. When enabled,
current readings are filtered according to the specified rank. When disabled, the
median filter stage is bypassed.
SOURce subsystem
This subsystem is used to configure and control the two voltage sources. The commands for this
subsystem are summarized in
SOURce[1] and SOURce2
Use the following commands to configure and control the channel 1 and channel 2 voltage
sources. SOURce[1] controls the channel 1 source, and SOURce2 controls the channel 2 source.
Control source output on-off
NOTE
All SOURx:CLEar commands are global and affect both channels simultaneously.
[:IMMediate]
:SOURce[1]:CLEar[:IMMediate] Turn source output off
Description
This command is used to turn off the channel 1 and channel 2 source outputs. The
outputs will turn off after all programmed source and measure operations are
completed and the instrument returns to the idle state.
Note that if auto output-off is enabled, the source outputs will automatically turn
off. See the next command.
