Using SCPI commands:
To set the source delay, set the command to a value. For example, to set the delay to 2 seconds,
send:
SOURce:CURRent:DELay 2
To set an automatic source delay, send the command:
:SOURce:CURRent:DELay:AUTO ON
To set these commands for a voltage source, replace
CURRent
with
VOLTage
.
Using TSP commands:
To set a specific value, set the source function and send the command
smu.source.delay =
sDelay
where
sDelay
is the delay in seconds. For example, to set a 0.5 s delay, send the
command:
smu.source.delay = .5
To set an automatic source delay, send the command:
smu.source.autodelay = smu.ON
To turn off the automatic source delay, send the command:
smu.source.autodelay = smu.OFF
Saving setups
You can save the present settings and any source or measure configuration lists that you have
defined for the Model 2450 to internal memory or an external USB flash drive.
After the settings are saved, you can recall the settings. You can also set them to be the default
settings on power up.
If you are using TSP commands, saved setups are scripts and can be added, modified, and deleted
like any other script. See
(on page 7-1) for additional information on
working with scripts.
