Define the output of the auxiliary line.The possible values are NONE, ON, OFF, OVOLtage,
UVOLtage, OCURrent, UCURrent, ACOFf, OTEMperature, SPRotection, UNRegulated, FOLD, CC,
CV, CP.

channel

The address for a multichannel slave. An integer value in the range 2 to 50.

codeword

A string representing any 4-digit positive integer.

current

A numeric value as defined by SCPI. May also be MAXimum or MINimum. May include
current-related suffix units such as “mA”, “uA”, “A” etc. Range may be 0 to 103% of model’s rated
current.

delay

A length of time in the range 0 to 60 seconds. May include time-related suffix units such as “S”,
“MIN”, “mS”, “uS” etc. By default, the value is in seconds.

ESE-word

Range 0–255. An 8-bit status mask for the Standard Event Status Register that determines which
bits are OR’d to form the ESB bit in the Status Byte Register.
