PORT0 Channel-Specific Output Command/Query

Description

This command controls the general-purpose digital port on the rear of each electronic load

or each channel of the multiple electronic load. The state of the port is with respect to the

common side of the electronic load input. Setting a port to the OFF or 0 state connects it

to the common; setting a port to the ON or 1 state disconnects it from common and sets it

to a TTL logical high.

The command is the same for both single and multiple electronic loads. To control a port

in a multiple electronic load you must first select the channel and then use PORT0 on that

channel.

Command Syntax

PORT0[:STATe] <NRf+>

Note

This command does not have a four-character short form. You must always include the

fifth character (zero).
