2400 Series SourceMeter

User’s Manual Pulse Mode Operation (Model 2430 only) 5-13
Step 4: Select source.
Press SOURCE V to source voltage pulses or press SOURCE I to source current pulses.
The presently programmed pulse value (Vpls or Ipls) and compliance level (Cmpl) are
displayed.
Step 5: Set pulse level and compliance limit.
The pulse level is the voltage or current setting of the selected source. A compliance is set
to protect the DUT from damaging currents or voltages. When using the V-Source, a cur-
rent compliance is set. When using the I-Source, a voltage compliance is set. Compliance
defines the maximum absolute output value the Model 2430 can output.
To set the pulse level, press EDIT to select the source field, and key in the desired source
value. To set compliance, press EDIT to select the compliance field, and key in the desired
compliance value.
NOTE Details on setting source (pulse) and compliance levels are provided in Step 2 of
Section 3, “Front panel source-measure procedure.”
Step 6: Select measurement function and range.
Select the desired measurement function by pressing MEAS V or MEAS I.
When measuring the source (i.e., Source V Measure V), you cannot select the range using
the measurement RANGE keys. The selected source range determines the measurement
range.
When not measuring the source (i.e., Source V Measure I), use the manual RANGE keys
to select range (auto range is not valid in the Pulse Mode). For best accuracy, select the
lowest possible range.
NOTE With the 100V V-Source range selected, the highest current measurement range
is 10A. With the 10A I-Source range selected, the highest voltage measurement
range is 100V.
Measurement range is limited by the compliance setting. For example, if voltage
compliance is 1V (2V compliance range), the highest voltage measurement
range that can be selected is 2V.
