:OUTPut:SENSe
Syntax :OUTPut:SENSe [CH1|CH2|CH3,]{ON|OFF}
:OUTPut:SENSe? [CH1|CH2|CH3]
Description Enable or disable the Sense function of the channel.
Query the status of the Sense function of the channel.
Parameter Name Type Range Default
[CH1|CH2|CH3] Discrete CH1|CH2|CH3 None
{ON|OFF} Bool ON|OFF OFF
Explanation  In large current output, to ensure that the load can acquire accurate voltage
drop, CH2 of DP821A/DP821 and DP811A/DP811 provide Sense (remote
sense) working mode. In this mode, the voltage at the load terminal instead of
the output voltage of the power supply is measured to compensate the voltage
drop caused by the load lead automatically.
 This command is only applicable to the channels (DP821A/DP821 (CH2) and
DP811A/DP811) that support the Sense function. For channels that do not
support the Sense function, the query returns NONE.
 DP821A/DP821/DP811A/DP811 provides output terminal on the front panel for
the Sense working mode. Besides, the output interface on the rear panel of
DP811A/DP811 can also be used for the Sense working mode. But, only one
output mode can be selected at one time and the output terminal on the front
panel can provide higher precision than the output interface on the rear panel.
Return Format The query returns ON or OFF. For channels that do not support the Sense function,
the query returns NONE.
Example :OUTP:SENS CH1,ON /*Enable the Sense function of the DP811A channel*/
:OUTP:SENS? CH1 /*Query the status of the Sense function of the DP811A
channel and the query returns ON*/
:OUTPut[:STATe]
Syntax :OUTPut[:STATe] [CH1|CH2|CH3,]{ON|OFF}
:OUTPut[:STATe]? [CH1|CH2|CH3]
Description Enable or disable the output of the specified channel.
Query the output status of the specified channel.
Parameter Name Type Range Default
[CH1|CH2|CH3] Discrete CH1|CH2|CH3 None
{ON|OFF} Bool ON|OFF OFF
Explanation  Make sure that the current setting will not affect the device connected to the
power supply before enabling the channel output.
 When [CH1|CH2|CH3] is omitted, the system performs the corresponding
operation on the current channel.
Return Format The query returns ON or OFF.
Example :OUTP CH1,ON /*Enable the output of CH1*/
:OUTP? CH1 /*Query the current output status of CH1 and the query returns
ON*/
