smuX.source.levelY
X = SMU channel (a or b)
Y = SMU measure function (v or i) where v = voltage, i = current
Attribute Source levels.
Usage sourceval = smuX.source.levelY -- Reads source value.
smuX.source.levelY = sourceval -- Writes source value.
sourceval Set 2601/2602 voltage from 0 to ±40 (volts).
Set 2601/2602 current from 0 to ±3 (amps).
Set 2611/2612 voltage from 0 to ±200 (volts).
Set 2611/2612 current from 0 to ±1.5 (amps).
Remarks
• This attribute configures the source level of the voltage or current source.
• If the source is configured as a voltage source and the output is on, the new
smuX.source.levelv setting will be sourced immediately. If the output is off or if
the source is configured as a current source, the voltage level will be sourced when
the source is configured as a voltage source and the output is turned on.
• If the source is configured as a current source and the output is on, the new
smuX.source.leveli setting will be sourced immediately. If the output is off or if
the source is configured as a voltage source, the current level will be sourced when
the source is configured as a current source and the output is turned on.
• The sign of sourceval dictates the polarity of the source. Positive values generate
positive voltage or current from the high terminal of the source relative to the low
terminal. Negative values generate negative voltage or current from the high
terminal of the source relative to the low terminal.
• The reset function sets the source levels to 0V and 0A.

Example
Sets V-source to 1V for SMU A:
smua.source.levelv = 1
smuX.source.limitY
X = SMU channel (a or b)
Y = SMU measure function (v or i) where v = voltage, i = current
Attribute Compliance limits.
Usage limit = smuX.source.limitY -- Reads compliance limit.
smuX.source.limitY = limit -- Writes compliance limit.
limit 2601/2602 voltage compliance from 0 to ±40 (volts).
2601/2602 current compliance from 0 to ±3 (amps).
2611/2612 voltage compliance from 0 to ±200 (volts).
2611/2612 current compliance from 0 to ±1.5 (amps).
