smuX.source.compliance
This attribute contains the state of source compliance.
Type TSP-Link accessible Affected by Where saved Default value
Usage
compliance = smuX.source.compliance
The state of source compliance
Source-measure unit (SMU) channel (for example, smua.source.compliance
applies to SMU channel A)
Details
This read-only attribute contains the source compliance state (true or false).
• true indicates that the limit function is in control of the source (source in compliance).
• false indicates that the source function is in control of the output (source not in compliance).
Writing to this attribute generates an error.
Reading this attribute also updates the status model and the front panel with generated compliance
information. See Current Limit (ILMT) shown in the status model diagram for the
Measurement event
registers (on page E-8). The Voltage Limit (VLMT) is not shown in the status model diagram for the
Measurement event registers (on page E-8), but is similar to the Current Limit (ILMT).
Example
compliance = smua.source.compliance
print(compliance)
Reads the source compliance state
for SMU channel A.
Output:
true
This output indicates that a
configured limit has been reached
(voltage, current, or power limit).
