Details
Source-measure operations are performed using either 2-wire local sense connections or 4-wire
remote sense connections. Writing to this attribute selects the sense mode.
The smuX.SENSE_CALA mode is only used for calibration and may only be selected when calibration
is enabled.
The sense mode can be changed between local and remote while the output is on.
The calibration sense mode cannot be selected while the output is on.
Resetting the instrument selects the local sense mode.
Example
smua.sense = smua.SENSE_REMOTE
Selects remote sensing for SMU
channel A.
