4.2.4.2 Restrictions on Switching Source Function
There are following restrictions on switching the source function:
1. While operating in the DC source or pulse source mode, switching between VS and IS causes the
Suspend status.
2. Switching between VS and IS is impossible during sweep. They can be switched when the sweep is
stopped. Switching VS and IS causes the Suspend status.
4.2.4.3 Source Value Restrictions
The setting range for the source value is restricted by the limit (compliance) value as shown in the
following table. If it is set out of this range, an error is generated.
Source function Limit value setting Source range
Voltage source (VS) 0.2 A IL 0.5 A 0 to 110 V
0.5 A < IL 1 A 0 to 64 V
1 A < IL 2 A 0 to 32 V
Current source (IS) 3 mV VL 32 V 0 to 2 A
32 V < VL 64 V 0 to 1 A
64 V < VL 110V 0 to 0.5 A
