<sm.source.delay
This attribute contains the source delay.

Usage
sDelay
= smu
X
.source.delay
smu
X
.source.delay =
sDelay
sDelay
Set to the source delay value (for example, to specify an additional 10 ms source
delay, set the value to
0.010)
Alternatively, you can set it one of the following values:
0
or
smu
X
.DELAY_OFF
: No delay
-1
or
smu
X
.DELAY_AUTO
: Automatic delay value
X
Source-measure unit (SMU) channel (for example,
smua.source.delay
applies
to SMU channel A)
Details
This attribute allows for additional delay (settling time) after an output step. Set
sDelay
to a user-
defined value (in seconds). Alternatively, set
sDelay
to
smu
X
.DELAY_OFF
or
smu
X
.DELAY_AUTO
.
The
smu
X
.DELAY_AUTO
setting causes a range-dependent delay to be inserted when the source is
changed. Range-dependent delays are based on the output settling time values as defined in the
Series 2600B specifications.
Example
smua.source.delay = smua.DELAY_AUTO
Sets the delay for SMU channel A
to automatic (a range-dependent
delay is inserted whenever the
source is changed).
