Range programming example
The listing below shows a programming example for controlling both source and measure ranges.
The Series 2600A is set up as follows:
• Voltage source range: auto
• Current measure range: 10mA
• Voltage source current limit: 10mA
-- Restore Series 2600A defaults.
smua.reset()
-- Set V source range to auto.
smua.source.autorangev = smua.AUTORANGE_ON
-- Select 10mA measure range.
smua.measure.rangei = 1e-2
-- Set limit level to 10mA.
smua.source.limiti = 1e-2
