smua.source.sink
This attribute turns sink mode on or off.
SMU reset
Instrument reset
Recall setup
Usage
sinkMode = smua.source.sink
smua.source.sink = sinkMode
Sets the sink mode on or off; set to one of the following values:
â–ª 0 or smua.DISABLE: Turns off sink mode
â–ª 1 or smua.ENABLE: Turns on sink mode
Details
This attribute enables or disables sink mode. When sink mode is enabled, it reduces the source limit
inaccuracy that occurs when operating in quadrants II and IV (quadrants I and III will show this source
limit inaccuracy).
Example
smua.source.sink = smua.ENABLE

smua.trigger.arm.count
This attribute sets the arm count in the trigger model.
SMU reset
Instrument reset
Recall setup
Usage
triggerArmCount = smua.trigger.arm.count
smua.trigger.arm.count = triggerArmCount
The arm count in the trigger model
Details
During a sweep, the SMU iterates through the arm layer of the trigger model this many times. After
performing this many iterations, the SMU returns to an idle state.
If this count is set to zero, the SMU stays in the trigger model indefinitely until aborted.
