SCPI Commands for the Digital Output
3–154
VX4101A MultiPaq Instrument User Manual
OUTPut:LEVel <voltage level>
This command sets the output voltage level for all 32 output bits. The output
voltage can be set to 5V, 12V, 24V or can be input from an external source. The
external input voltage source must be limited between 0V and 36V.
NOTE. The actual high voltage output will depend on the type of load placed on
the pin. Internal loading limits the output to approximately 75% of the pro-
grammed nominal values. Any additional external load placed on the pins might
limit the output further. For the load limits of the Digital Output, see Appendix
A: Specifications.
OUTPut:TRIGger:SOURce <source>
Selects when the Digital Output will generate output triggers. It can be set to
generate a trigger every sample period, segment period, or once per sequence.

<source>
SEQUENCE|SEGMENT|SAMPLE
NOTE. The output trigger in the segment or sequence mode occurs just prior to
the start of the last sample and is approximately 70 nsec in width. In the trigger
out sample mode, the trigger pulse occurs approximately 3 ms after the sample
changes and is 1 ms in length.
