:OUTPut:AOFF

Description

Selects, whether the power source should be automatically turned off after a single sweep cycle. This is useful, if only a single sweep is performed. The DUT does not heat up unnecessarily. When performing a continuous measurement, it is considered to deactivate the automatic output power off feature, because otherwise the source is powered down between each sweep run.

Note

The source state will NOT be changed immediately when value is applied!

Sample usage

Enable and start a continuous measurement and ensure that the power source remains active between each sweep run.

C#
Python

var visaSession = new TcpipSocket(VISA_RESOURCENAME);
visaSession.RawIO.Write(":TRIG:SOUR INT\n");

// ensure that the power source stays activate between each sweep run
visaSession.RawIO.Write(":OUTP:AOFF OFF\n");
visaSession.RawIO.Write(":INIT:CONT ON\n");
