smuX.source.outputenableaction
X = SMU channel (a or b)
Attribute Output enable or interlock action for the source.
Usage
action = smuX.source.outputenableaction -- Reads enable action.
smuX.source.outputenableaction = action -- Writes enable 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 or interlock line
is asserted/de-asserted. The default setting is
smuX.OE_NONE.
• This attribute is always set to OE_OUTPUT_OFF for the Model 2611/2612 and is
read-only.
• When set to smuX.OE_NONE, the SMU will take no action when the output enable or
interlock line goes low (de-asserted).
• When set to smuX.OE_OUTPUT_OFF and the output enable or interlock 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 or interlock
line returns to the high state.
• If the output enable or interlock 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 or interlock line going low will not abort any running
scripts. This may cause execution errors.
Details See “Output Enable (Models 2601/2602)” in Section 10.

Example Reconfigures the SMU to turn the output off if the output enable or interlock line goes
low (de-asserted):
smua.source.outputenableaction = smua.OE_OUTPUT_OFF
