Source-Measure Concepts
6-33
Measure only (V or I)
Figure 6-17
shows the configurations for using the SourceMeter exclusively as a voltmeter
or ammeter. As shown in
Figure 6-17A
, the SourceMeter is configured to measure voltage
only by setting it to source 0A and measure voltage.
CAUTION
V-Compliance must be set to a level that is higher than the measured
voltage. Otherwise, excessive current will flow into the SourceMeter.
This current could damage the SourceMeter. Also, when connecting an
external voltage to the I-Source, set the output-off state to the high-
impedance mode. (See
Section 13
, “
Output-off states
.”)
In
Figure 6-17B
, the SourceMeter is configured to measure current-only by setting it to
source 0V and measure current. Note that in order to obtain positive (+) readings, conven-
tional current must flow from IN/OUT HI to LO.

Note: Use 2-wire local sensing.
