4.18 Source Subsystem - Mode
The MODE command allows switching between the different output modes available on the
AC/DC power source. The MX Series with a –1 or –3 provides either AC or DC mode while
the MX/RS Series with a –1Pi or –3Pi adds AC+DC mode as well. When switching modes,
the output is automatically set to zero to prevent hot switching of the output. After a mode
command, the output voltage needs to be programmed to the desired setting.
