states. For more information, see
(on page 2-97).
Overvoltage
Protection Limit
Set the overvoltage protection setting of the source output to
restrict the maximum voltage level that the instrument can source.
For more information, see
(on page 2-121).
High Capacitance
Turn on this setting to minimize overshoot, ringing, and instability
when measuring low current while driving a capacitive load. For
more information, see
(on page 4-22).
Source Readback
Turn on this setting to have the instrument record and display the
actual value of the source, instead of the programmed value. Using
source readback results in more accurate measurements, at the
cost of a reduction in measurement speed. Turn off this setting to
increase measurement speed. For more information, see
(on page 2-130).
Source Delay
Set a delay for the selected source function. This delay is in
addition to normal settling times. Select
Auto Delay
to have the
instrument automatically set the delay, or select
Specify Delay
to
enter a value. For more information, see
(on page 2-131).
