Relationship between the measurement signal mode of the instrument and the sample is as follows.

Constant current (CC) mode
You should select this if you wish
to set the current passing through
the object to be tested to a con-
stant value.
Constant voltage (CV) mode
You should select this if you wish to set the
voltage across the terminals of the object
to be tested to a constant value.
Open circuit voltage (V) mode
This voltage value is the value which is applied across the two terminals of
the series combination of the object which is being tested and the output
impedance. As for the voltage which is applied across the terminals of the
object which is being tested (by itself), if required, you should either check
the monitor voltage value, or select constant voltage (CV) and set a voltage
value across these terminals.

Depending on the sample, you may not be able to perform constant voltage measurement. In
this situation, the following mark will be displayed:
Constant voltage measurement will not be performed.
Change the constant voltage level so that it is less than or equal to the displayed Vac moni-
tor values.
