Details
If this attribute is set to
smu
X
.LIMIT_AUTO
(or
0
), the SMU uses the normal limit setting during sweeping. If this
attribute is set to any other numeric value, the SMU will switch in this limit at the start of the source action and will
return to the normal limit setting at the end of the end pulse action.
Normally, the limit range is automatically adjusted in accordance with the limit value. During sweeping, however,
the limit range is fixed in order to avoid the delays associated with changing range. This fixed limit range is
determined by the maximum limit value needed during the sweep; that is, the greater of either the normal limit
value (as specified by
smu
X.
source.limit
Y
) or the sweep limit value (as specified by
smu
X
.trigger.source.limit
Y
). Note that the minimum limit value that can be enforced during the sweep is
equal to 10 percent of the full scale value of the fixed limit range. If the smaller limit value (normal or sweep) falls
below this 10% threshold, the 10 percent value will be enforced instead. Likewise, if the limit value were to fall
below the 10 percent threshold as a result of power compliance, the 10 percent value will be enforced instead.
Example
smua.trigger.source.limitv = 500
Sets the voltage sweep limit
of SMU channel A to 500 V.
