Remote source-measure commands
Basic source-measurement procedures can also be performed through a remote interface. To do this,
send the appropriate commands. The following table summarizes basic source-measure commands.
See Introduction to TSP operation (on page 7-1) for more information on using these commands.

smuX.sense = smuX.SENSE_LOCAL
Select local sense (2-wire).
smuX.sense = smuX.SENSE_REMOTE
Select remote sense (4-wire).
* smuX can be smua for channel A or smub for channel B
Requesting readings
You can request readings by including the appropriate measurement command as the argument for
the print() command. The following programming example illustrates how to request a channel A
current reading:
print(smua.measure.i())
