bufferVar.sourceoutputstates
This attribute indicates the state of the source output for readings that are stored in a specified buffer.

Usage
state = bufferVar.sourceoutputstates[N]
state
The output state ("Off" or "On") when reading N of the specified buffer was
acquired
bufferVar
The reading buffer; can be a dynamically allocated buffer (user-defined), or a
dedicated reading buffer (such as
smua.nvbuffer1
)
N
The reading number (1 to
bufferVar
.n)
Details
The sourceoutputstates buffer recall attribute is similar to an array (a Lua table) of strings. This array
indicates the state of the source output ("Off" or "On") at the time of the measurement.
For dedicated reading buffers, all buffer attributes are saved to nonvolatile memory only when the reading buffer
is saved to nonvolatile memory.
Example
printbuffer(1, 1, smua.nvbuffer1.sourceoutputstates)
Print the source output for the
first reading stored in source-
measure unit (SMU) channel A,
dedicated reading buffer 1.
Example output:
On
