To configure the output-off function from the front panel:
1. Press the
CONFIG
key.
2. Press the
OUTPUT ON/OFF
control.
3. Select
OFF-STATE
and then select
FUNCTION
.
4. Select

5. Press the
EXIT
key to return to the normal display.
To configure the output-off function remotely:
To set 0 V output with current limit set by the
smu
X
.source.offlimiti
attribute:*
smu
X
.source.offfunc = smu
X
.OUTPUT_DCVOLTS
To set 0 A output with voltage limit set by the
smu
X
.source.offlimitv
attribute:*
smu
X
.source.offfunc = smu
X
.OUTPUT_DCAMPS
*
smu
X
can be
smua
for channel A or
smub

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 2600B 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 output-off limits
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.
To configure the output-off limits from the front panel:
1. Press the
CONFIG
key.
2. Press the
