To configure the output-off mode from the front panel:
1. Press
the
CONFIG
key.
2. Press
the
OUTPUT ON/OFF
control. The CONFIGURE OUTPUT A menu is displayed.
3. In the CONFIGURE OUTPUT A menu, select
OFF-STATE
to display the OUTPUT OFF STATE
A menu.
4. With the OUTPUT OFF STATE A menu displayed, select
MODE
to open the OFF MODE A
menu.
5. Select the output-off mode:
HI-Z
(high-impedance),
NORMAL
, or
ZERO
.
To select the normal output-off mode over a remote interface:
smua.source.offmode = smua.OUTPUT_NORMAL
To select the high-impedance output-off mode over a remote interface:
smua.source.offmode = smua.OUTPUT_HIGH_Z
To select the zero output-off mode over a remote interface:
smua.source.offmode = smua.OUTPUT_ZERO
Output-off function
This setting is used only when the when output is turned off and the Model 2657A is in NORMAL
output-off mode (
smua.source.offmode = smua.OUTPUT_NORMAL
).
When the Model 2657A is in NORMAL output-off mode, you can set the output-off function to
CURRENT or VOLTAGE through the CONFIG menu on the front panel, or by using the
smua.source.offfunc
attribute from a remote interface. VOLTAGE is the default output-off
function.
When the output is turned off and the selected output-off function is VOLTAGE
(
smua.source.offfunc = smua.OUTPUT_DCVOLTS
):
•
The source-measure unit (SMU) sources 0 V.
•
The current limit is set by the
smua.source.offlimiti
attribute (default 1 mA).
When the output is turned off and the selected output-off function is CURRENT
(
smua.source.offfunc = smua.OUTPUT_DCAMPS
):
•
The SMU sources 0 A.
•
The voltage limit is set by the
smua.source.offlimitv
attribute (default 40 V).
When the output-off function is set to either voltage or current, the SMU may source or sink a very
small amount of power. In most cases, this source or sink power level is not significant.
Selecting the output-off function
This setting is used only when the when output is turned off and the source-measure unit (SMU) is in
NORMAL output-off mode.
