:INTerlock?
This command determines if the safety interlock cable is connected to the Model 6517B.
Usage
SYSTem:INTerlock?
Details
This query command is used to determine if the safety interlock cable is connected to the Model
6517B. The response message is interpreted as follows:
1
= Interlock cable connected to the 6517B and fixture, or not connected to 6517B at all.
0
= Interlock cable connected to 6517B but not connected to fixture, or interlock cable connected to
6517B but fixture lid is open.
If the interlock cable is not connected, the Model 6517B cannot determine the state of the test fixture
lid (open or closed) or read the test fixture switch settings. A potential safety hazard is present when
the fixture lid is open.
