System SourceMeter® Instrument Reference Manual Section 7:
2600BS-901-01 Rev. C / August 2016 7-245
Details
Reading this attribute returns the output state of the source. Setting this attribute switches the output
of the source on or off.
When the output is switched on, the SMU sources either voltage or current, as set by
smuX.source.func.
Setting this attribute to smuX.OUTPUT_HIGH_Z causes the output to turn off and go to the High Z
mode. If the smuX.source.output is read after setting this attribute to smuX.OUTPUT_HIGH_Z, it
returns 0.
Example
smua.source.output = smua.OUTPUT_ON
Turns on SMU channel A source

smuX.source.outputenableaction
This attribute controls output enable action of the source.
Type TSP-Link accessible Affected by Where saved Default value
Attribute (RW) Yes SMU reset

Usage
outputAction = smuX.source.outputenableaction
smuX.source.outputenableaction = outputAction
The output enable action of the source; set to one of the following values:
0 or smuX.OE_NONE: No action
X
.OE_OUTPUT_OFF: Turns the source output off
Source-measure unit (SMU) channel (for example,
smua.source.outputenableaction applies to SMU channel A)
