Usage
sourceOutput = smuX.source.output
smuX.source.output = sourceOutput
The output state setting of the source; set to one of the following values:
▪ 0 or smuX.OUTPUT_OFF: Turns off the source output
▪ 1 or smuX.OUTPUT_ON: Turns on the source output
▪ 2 or smuX.OUTPUT_HIGH_Z: Turns off the output in high Z mode (allows you
to go to high Z mode without first setting the smuX.source.offmode
attribute to smuX.OUTPUT_HIGH_Z)
Source-measure unit (SMU) channel (for example, smua.source.output applies
to SMU channel A)
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 the SMU channel A source output.
