Query commands are used to read the contents of the status event regis-
ters. This command is used to set the response message format for those
query commands.
When a status register is queried, the response message is a value that
indicates which bits in the register are set. For example, if bits B5, B4,
B2, B1, and B0 of a register are set (110111), the following values will
be returned for the selected data format:
ASCii
Hexadecimal
OCTal
BINary

:OUTPut[1]?
:OUTPut2?
These commands are used to turn the channel 1 and channel 1 source
outputs on or off.
Turning a source off places the Model 2500 in the idle state. The only
exception to this is when source auto clear is enabled. In this mode, the
source turns on during each source phase of the SDM cycle and then
turns off after each measurement. See :SOURce[1]:CLEar:AUTO and
:SOURce2:CLEar:AUTO in
The :SOURce[1]:CLEar or :SOURce2:CLEar command will also turn the
respective source off.
