smuX.source.outputenableaction
X = SMU channel (a or b)
(2601A/2602A only)
Attribute Output enable action for the source.
Default smuX.OE_NONE (2601A/2602A only)
TSP-Link
accessibility
This attribute can be accessed from a remote TSP-Link node.
Usage action = smuX.source.outputenableaction -- Reads enable action.
smuX.source.outputenableaction = action -- Writes enable action.
action The source output action.
Set action to one of the following values:
0 or smuX.OE_NONE No action.
1 or smuX.OE_OUTPUT_OFF Turns the source output off.
Remarks • This attribute controls the SMU action taken when the output enable line is asserted/deasserted.
The default setting is smuX.OE_NONE.
• When set to smuX.OE_NONE, the SMU will take no action when the output enable line goes low
(deasserted).
• When set to smuX.OE_OUTPUT_OFF and the output enable line is de-asserted, the SMU will
turn its output off as if the smuX.source.output = smuX.OUTPUT_OFF command had been
received.
• The SMU will not automatically turn its output on when the output enable line returns to the high
state.
• If the output enable line is not asserted when this attribute is set to smuX.OE_OUTPUT_OFF and
the output is on, the output will turn off immediately.
• Detection of the output enable line going low will not abort any running scripts. This may cause
execution errors.
Details See Output enable (Models 2601A/2602A) in Section 8.

Example Reconfigures the SMU to turn the output off if the output enable line goes low (deasserted):
