Remote compliance limit
Table 4-3 summarizes basic commands to program the compliance limit. See
Section 12 for more details on these commands. To program the compliance,
simply send the command using the desired parameter. For example, the
following commands set the current and voltage compliance to 50mA and 4V:
smua.source.limiti = 50e-3
smua.source.limitv = 4
The following command will print the compliance state:
print (smua.source.compliance)
A returned value of 1 indicates that the voltage limit has been reached if the unit is
configured as a current source, or that the current limit has been reached if the
unit is configured as a voltage source.

Description
smuX.source.limiti = limit
smuX.source.limitv = limit
compliance = smuX.source.compliance
Set current compliance limit.
Set voltage compliance limit.
Test if in compliance (1 = in compliance;
0 = not in compliance).
Basic circuit configurations
The fundamental source-measure configurations for the SourceMeter are shown
in
Figure 4-1. When sourcing voltage, you can measure current or voltage
(configuration A). When sourcing current, you can measure voltage or current
(configuration B). See “
Basic circuit configurations” in Section 8 for more detailed
information on these circuit configurations.
*smuX = smua for the Model 2601/2611; smuX = smua (Channel A) or smub (Channel B) for
the Model 2602/2612.
