INPut:OFFSet

Sets the input threshold for a group of channels
Setting
INPut:OFFSet <voltage_level>,<channel_list>
<voltage_level> = +9.96 V to -10.00 V.
<channel_list> = standard channel list syntax supporting channels 1 to 16.
0.496V for all channels
INPut:OFFSet? <channel>
<channel> = 1 to 16
ASCII numeric value from -10.00 to +9.96
The INPut:OFFSet command sets the input threshold for a channel or group of
channels, over which the input signal must cross to cause an interrupt event. This
command sets the value in the 8-bit DAC to which the input signal is compared. It is
important to note that the actual input offset value is affected by the INPut:RANGe
command, as the response has been normalized to ±10 V range. The actual input offset
for the allowable ranges are as follows:
Range
±10.0
±100.0
