Setting the compliance limit
Front panel compliance limit
Set the compliance limit from the front panel as follows:
1. For the Model 2601A/2611A/2635A or the Model 2602A/2612A/2636A single-channel
display mode, press the LIMIT key to directly access compliance editing.
2. For the Model 2602A/2612A/2636A dual-channel display mode, press the LIMIT key, then
select CURRENT or VOLTAGE as desired. Press ENTER or the navigation wheel.
3. Press the navigation wheel, set the compliance limit to the desired value, and then press
ENTER or the navigation wheel to complete editing.
4. Press EXIT to return to the normal display.
Remote compliance limit
Table 3-3 summarizes basic commands to program the compliance limit. See Section 19 for more
details on these commands. To program the compliance, simply send the command using the
desired parameter. For example, the following commands set the current and voltage compliance
to 50mA and 4V respectively:
smua.source.limiti = 50e-3
smua.source.limitv = 4
The following command prints the compliance state:
print(smua.source.compliance)
