Details
This read-only attribute contains the source compliance state (
true
or
false
).
• true indicates that the limit function is in control of the source (source in compliance).
• false indicates that the source function is in control of the output (source not in compliance).
Writing to this attribute generates an error.
Reading this attribute also updates the status model and the front panel with generated compliance
information. See Current Limit (ILMT) shown in the status model diagram for the Measurement event
registers (on page E-8). The Voltage Limit (VLMT) is not shown in the status model diagram for the
Measurement event registers (on page E-8), but is similar to the Current Limit (ILMT).
Example
compliance = smua.source.compliance
print(compliance)
Reads the source compliance state
for SMU channel A.
Output:
true
This output indicates that a
configured limit has been reached
(voltage, current, or power limit).
