Query Syntax

SYST:DCPS? */Query the present voltage source state

Return Type

string - Returns one of the following:

• OFF - Voltage source disabled. OutputEnable is not selectable.

• OUTPUTDISABLED - Voltage source enabled but OutputEnable is set to OFF.

• INTRANSITION - When DCPS is switching between states. It should be pretty quick and most of the times not seen (in test code maybe a 2-3s wait time is more than enough to detect a latch up or error). 

• READY - Voltage source enabled and OutputEnable automatically set to ON. 

• TRIPPED - Current overload causing the fault line to trigger (output voltage should become 0V after tripped). To clear a 'TRIPPED' state, send SYSTem:DCPS:CLR. 

• CURRENTLIMITED - Current limited causing voltage dropout (output voltage is a at least 200mV lower than set voltage in current limited condition). To clear a 'CURRENTLIMITED' state, send SYSTem:DCPS:CLR.

Default

OFF
