smuX.source.levelY
X = SMU channel (a or b)
Y = SMU measure function (
v
or
i
)
Where:
v
= voltage,
i
= current
Attribute
Source levels.
Default
0
TSP-Link
accessibility
This attribute can be accessed from a remote TSP-Link node.
Usage
sourceval = smuX.source.levelv
-- Reads voltage source value.
smuX.source.levelv = sourceval
-- Writes voltage source value.
sourceval = smuX.source.leveli
-- Reads current source value.
smuX.source.leveli = sourceval
-- Writes current source value.
sourceval
Set 2601A/2602A voltage from 0 to ±40 (volts).
Set 2601A/2602A current from 0 to ±3 (amps).
Set 2611A/2612A/2635A/2636A voltage from 0 to ±200 (volts).
Set 2611A/2612A/2635A/2636A current from 0 to ±1.5 (amps).
Remarks
• This attribute configures the source level of the voltage or current source.
• If the source is configured as a voltage source and the output is on, the new
smuX.source.levelv
setting will be sourced immediately. If the output is off or if the source is
configured as a current source, the voltage level will be sourced when the source is configured
as a voltage source and the output is turned on.
• If the source is configured as a current source and the output is on, the new
smuX.source.leveli
setting will be sourced immediately. If the output is off or if the source is
configured as a voltage source, the current level will be sourced when the source is configured
as a current source and the output is turned on.
• The sign of
sourceval
dictates the polarity of the source. Positive values generate positive
voltage or current from the high terminal of the source relative to the low terminal. Negative
values generate negative voltage or current from the high terminal of the source relative to the
low terminal.
• The
reset
function sets the source levels to 0V and 0A.
