: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!
