Details
When the instrument is turned off and back on, the dedicated reading buffers are restored from
nonvolatile memory to their last saved values.
Example
smua.savebuffer(smua.nvbuffer1)
Saves buffer 1 (SMU channel A) to internal memory.

Usage
senseMode = smuX.sense
smuX.sense = senseMode
senseMode
The sense mode; set to one of the following:
▪ 0 or smuX.SENSE_LOCAL: Selects local sense (2-wire)
▪ 1 or smuX.SENSE_REMOTE: Selects remote sense (4-wire)
▪ 3 or smuX.SENSE_CALA: Selects calibration sense mode
X
Source-measure unit (SMU) channel (for example, smua.sense applies to SMU
channel A)
Details
Source-measure operations are performed using either 2-wire local sense connections or 4-wire
remote sense connections. Writing to this attribute selects the sense mode.
The smuX.SENSE_CALA mode is only used for calibration and may only be selected when calibration
is enabled.
The sense mode can be changed between local and remote while the output is on.
The calibration sense mode cannot be selected while the output is on.
Resetting the instrument selects the local sense mode.
Example
smua.sense = smua.SENSE_REMOTE
Selects remote sensing for SMU channel A.
