Source-measure capabilities
From the front panel, the SourceMeter can be configured to perform the following
operations:
• Source voltage — Display current and/or voltage measurement.
• Source current — Display voltage and/or current measurement.
• Measure resistance — Display resistance calculated from voltage and
current components of measurement.
• Measure power — Display power calculated from voltage and current
components of measurement.
• Measure only (V or I) — Display voltage or current measurement.
Voltage and current
Table 4-1 lists the source and measure limits for the voltage and current functions.
The full range of operation is explained in “Operating boundaries” in Section 8.
