Example
smua.source.offmode = smua.OUTPUT_HIGH_Z
Sets the output-off mode to open the output relay when the output is turned off.

Usage
sourceOutput = smua.source.output
smua.source.output = sourceOutput
The output state setting of the source; set to one of the following values:
â–ª 0 or smua.OUTPUT_OFF: Turns off the source output
â–ª 1 or smua.OUTPUT_ON: Turns on the source output
â–ª 2 or smua.OUTPUT_HIGH_Z: Turns off the output in high Z mode (allows you
to go to high Z mode without first setting the smua.source.offmode
attribute to smua.OUTPUT_HIGH_Z)
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
smua.source.func.
Setting this attribute to smua.OUTPUT_HIGH_Z causes the output to turn off and go to the High Z
mode. If the smua.source.output is read after setting this attribute to smua.OUTPUT_HIGH_Z, it
returns 0.
Example
smua.source.output = smua.OUTPUT_ON
Turns on the source output.
