INSTrument:SELect
This command may be used select a specific output phase in three-phase mode using a
character reference. “A” denotes phase A, “B” denotes phase B and “C” denotes Phase C.
As long as the instrument state is coupled however, programming command will affect all
phases. As soon as the INST:COUP NONE command is issued, the last selected phase
becomes selected. To immediately change the output of a single phase only, make sure the
instrument state is uncoupled when issuing the INST:SEL command.
Note that the MEASuse and FETCh subsystems are not affected by the INST:COUP
command and always operate on the selected phase only. This means the instrument can
remain in coupled mode while doing measurement queries using “INST:SEL
. Note that when the instrument is subsequently put in the
uncoupled state using “INST:COUP NONE”, the last issued phase selection will be in effect.
To make sure the desired phase is selected, follow the “INST:COUP NONE” command with
an “INST:SEL
