Source-measure unit (SMU) channel (for example,
smua.measure.autorangev
applies to SMU channel A)
Y
SMU measure function (
v
= voltage,
i
= current)
Details
This attribute indicates the measurement autorange state. Its value is
smu
X
.AUTORANGE_OFF
when
the SMU measure circuit is on a fixed range and
smu
X
.AUTORANGE_ON
when it is in autorange
mode.
Setting this attribute to
smu
X
.AUTORANGE_OFF
puts the SMU on a fixed range. The fixed range is the
present SMU measure range.
Setting this attribute to
smu
X
.AUTORANGE_ON
puts the SMU measure circuit in autorange mode. It
remains on its present measure range until the next measurement is requested.
If source high capacitance mode is enabled, current autorange is set to
smu
X
.AUTORANGE_FOLLOW_LIMIT
and cannot be changed.
Example
smua.measure.autorangev = 1
Enables voltage measurement autoranging for SMU
channel A. Alternatively, you can replace the value
1
with
smua.AUTORANGE_ON
.
