smua.source.func = smua.OUTPUT_DCVOLTS
smua.source.rangev = 40
(Use for Model 2601A/2602A)
smua.source.rangev = 20
(Use for Model 2611A/2612A/2635A/2636A)
smua.source.levelv = 10
Step 3: Set compliance value and measure range
Enter the following commands to set the compliance limit and measure range to 10mA:
smua.source.limiti = 10e-3
smua.measure.rangei = 10e-3
Step 4: Turn on output
Send the following command to turn on the output:
smua.source.output = smua.OUTPUT_ON
Step 5: Make a measurement
Enter the following command to take a current measurement:
reading = smua.measure.i()
Step 6: Print the result
Print the result in the console window with the following command:
print(reading)
Note that the reading response will appear in the console window (see
).
Alternatively, you can also take and print readings by including the appropriate
measure
command as the argument in the
command. For example, the following commands will
take and print ohms and power readings respectively:
print(smua.measure.r())
print(smua.measure.p())
Again, readings will be displayed in the console window.
Step 7: Turn off output
Send the following command to turn off the output when measurements are complete:
smua.source.output = smua.OUTPUT_OFF
