Modifiers that affect source-measure unit (SMU) behavior (continued)
Modifier
Value
Comment
KI_MEAS_DELAY
KI_DELAY_OFF
KI_DELAY_AUTO
<value>
Controls measurement delays
on a SMU. You can choose to
turn the delay off, have the
instrument set the delay, or
specify a value in seconds.
KI_DELAY_AUTO
is the default
setting.
Note that reducing measure
delays may cause the SMU to
return unsettled or inaccurate
readings.
KI_MEAS_DELAY_FACTOR
26xx: <value>
When the
KI_MEAS_DELAY
modifier is set to
KI_DELAY_AUTO
, specifying
this modifier multiplies the
delay values that are stored in
the 26xx SMU by the specified
value.
KI_SENSE
26xx:
0
,
1
, or
3
Controls the sense mode of
the 26xx SMU (2-wire or 4-wire
mode).
0
= Local sense mode (2-wire)
1
= Remote sense mode
(4-wire)
3
= Calibration sense mode
KI_SETTLE_MODE
26xx:
Changes the source settling
mode.
KI_SETTLE_SMOOTH
Turns off additional settling
operations.
KI_SETTLE_FAST_RANGE
Sets the SMU to use a faster
procedure when changing
ranges
KI_SETTLE_FAST_POLARITY
Sets the SMU to change
polarity without going to zero.
KI_SETTLE_DIRECT_IRANGE
Default setting; sets the SMU
to change the current range
directly.
KI_SETTLE_FAST_ALL
Enables all settle fast modes.
