To configure the output-off function remotely:
To set 0 V output with current limit set by the
smu
X
.source.offlimiti
attribute:
Channel A:
smua.source.offfunc = smua.OUTPUT_DCVOLTS
Channel B:
smub.source.offfunc = smub.OUTPUT_DCVOLTS
To set 0 A output with voltage limit set by the
smu
X
.source.offlimitv
attribute:
Channel A:
smua.source.offfunc = smua.OUTPUT_DCAMPS
Channel B:
smub.source.offfunc = smub.OUTPUT_DCAMPS
Output-off limits (compliance)
You can set output-off limits (compliance) for the current and voltage output-off functions using the
CONFIG menu on the 2606B virtual front panel, or by setting the
smu
X
.source.offlimit
Y
attribute from a remote interface. The output-off limits only apply when the output-off mode is normal.
Setting the output-off limit for CURRENT (
smu
X
.source.offlimiti
) specifies the current limit for
the voltage source; setting the output-off limit for VOLTAGE (
smu
X
.source.offlimitv
) specifies
the voltage limit for the current source.
Setting output-off limits
To configure the output-offlimits from the virtual front panel:
1. Press the
CONFIG
key.
2. Press the
OUTPUT ON/OFF
control.
3. Select
OFF-STATE
and then select
LIMIT
.
4. Select
CURRENT
or
VOLTAGE
.
5. Set the limit value and then press the
ENTER
key or the navigation wheel (for details, see
(on page 2-32)).
6. Press the
EXIT
key to return to the normal display.
To set the current limit in NORMAL output-off mode remotely:
Channel A:
smua.source.offlimiti =
iValue
Channel B:
smub.source.offlimiti =
iValue
To set the voltage limit in NORMAL output-off mode remotely:
Channel A:
smua.source.offlimitv =
vValue
Channel B:
smub.source.offlimitv =
vValue
