Channel.setpole() - Keithley 3700A Series Reference Manual

Section 11: TSP command reference
For DAC channels, changing the output state to on adds an additional channel delay to
channel.setdelay().
Channels with output set to off consume less power.
Changing the output setting impacts the power consumption of the card. The instrument verifies that
power is available before changing the mode. If there is insufficient power capability, the command
generates an error. Consult the specific card documentation for information on a channel's output
characteristics.
For switch, backplane, digital I/O, and totalizer channels, there is no valid output enable value. Setting
output enable on a specific channel generates an error. If one of these channels is in the range of
channels, the channel is ignored.
Example
channel.setoutputenable("1010", channel.OFF)

channel.getoutputenable()

channel.setpole()

This function specifies the pole setting for a list of channels.
Type TSP-Link accessible
Function Yes
Usage
channel.setpole("channelList", value)
channelList
value
Details
The parameter string can contain allslots or slotX, where X is 1 to 6.
Channel patterns do not have a pole setting associated with them. For channel patterns, the pole
setting indicates if the paired channel should be used when the pattern is created and the analog
backplane relays must be specified when creating the pattern (with
channel.pattern.setimage() and channel.pattern.snapshot()). Channel patterns get
deleted as the pole settings of the channels in the pattern image get changed.

Assuming a 3750, turns the output off on the
first DAC channel (channel 10) in slot 1.
