Setting the output-off state
Before setting the output-off state, set the source function. The output-off state is stored with the
source function. If you change the source function, the output-off state changes to the last state you
set for that function.
Using the front panel:
1. Press the
MENU
key.
2. Under Source, select
Settings
.
3. Next to Output Off, select the appropriate setting for your application.
4. Select
HOME
to return to the operating display.
Using SCPI commands:
To set the output-off state to normal, send the command:
:OUTPut:SMODe NORMal
To set the output-off state to zero, send the command:
:OUTPut:SMODe ZERO
To set the output-off state to high impedance, send the command:
:OUTPut:SMODe HIMPedance
To set the output-off state to guard, send the command:
:OUTPut:SMODe GUARd
Using TSP commands:
To set the output-off state to normal, send the command:
smu.source.offmode = smu.OFFMODE_NORMAL
To set the output-off state to zero, send the command:
smu.source.offmode = smu.OFFMODE_ZERO
To set the output-off state to high impedance, send the command:
smu.source.offmode = smu.OFFMODE_HIGHZ
To set the output-off state to guard, send the command:
smu.source.offmode = smu.OFFMODE_GUARD
