NORMAL is the default off-state.
ZERO — When the V-Source OUTPUT is turned off, the V-Source is set to 0V
-
and current compliance is not changed. When the I-Source OUTPUT is turned off,
the V-Source mode is selected and set to 0V. Current compliance is set to the pro-
grammed Source I value or to 0.5% full scale of the present current range, which-
ever is greater. Measurements are performed and displayed while the OUTPUT is
off.
GUARD — When OUTPUT is turned OFF, the current source is selected and set
-

AUTO OFF — Use to ENABLE or DISABLE auto output off. When enabled, the
OUTPUT will turn off after the measurement phase of every SDM cycle. The OUTPUT
turns back on at the beginning of the next SDM cycle. When disabled, the OUTPUT
