Typical NPLC cache test times
Typically, NPLC caching will decrease source memory sweep times by a factor of three.
The table below shows typical averaged times for a test consisting of 10 sweeps of four
source memory locations with NPLC values for successive memory locations set to 10, 1,
0.1, and 0.01 respectively.
V-source protection
Use V-source protection to select the maximum voltage level the SourceMeter can output.
Available settings are listed as follows:
These are absolute values with 5% tolerance. The power-on default is NONE.
