Measuring The Output; Operating Modes - TDK-Lambda Genesys Series User Manual

11.2.3. Set the Output ON or OFF
This command turns the power supply output on or off.
The output on command may not work as expected. The latching power supply faults, including AC fault,
over-temperature, J1-Enable and J1-Shut Off, will prevent turning the output on until the fault clears. For
non-latching faults, including over-voltage and current fold-back, turning the output on will clear the fault.

11.4. Operating Modes

11.4.1. Read CV or CC Modes
The power supply may operate in the constant-voltage or constant-current mode. The mode is selected
automatically depending on the voltage limit, current limit and load. settings. The mode is not defined
when the supply's output is off
The CV or CC mode is shown on the supply front panel LEDs above the encoders.

Example:
Responses:
OUTPut:STATe <0|1|OFF|ON>
or will set the power supply output to OFF
0 OFF
or will set the power supply output to ON, if it is able to
