output "LO" = "0"V?

[4135SMU]

Hi, All,

  we have 3 PIXe 4135 SMUs at hand. we use them for IV scan over our device, using NI's example vi like "NI DCPower hardware-timed voltage sweep". in this example, you are using only one SMU to achieve IV scan. you are using the output "LO" as your potential "0", connected to one end of your device  and  put the output "HI" which is triaxial output to the other end of your device. and you do the voltage sweep. Now, since we have several SMUs at hand, we wonder if we could use two SMUs to do the IV scan. For example, connected one SMU to the device and let it output constant 0V, and let the other SMU do the voltage sweep.  then here is the question: is the output "LO" of SMU is refereed as "0"V?  

regards,

Can you set both LO and HI to 0V?

speaking frankly, I don't know how to set output "LO" to "0"V.  For output "Hi", that is what SMU output means so that you could set it to "0" by NI DCPower driver package.
