Limit/Compliance
Limit/Compliance
Limit/compliance is the output limiter for preventing damage to the test device from
overcurrent or overvoltage. Voltage limit is for current output channels, and current
limit is for voltage output channels.
When a channel reaches limit, the channel acts as a constant voltage source or a
constant current source. The channel keeps the output value once limit has been
reached.
Limit can be set with the same resolution and accuracy as output current or output
voltage.
To Set Limit
The following points must be noted when setting the limit.
• The minimum limit value is limited as follows.
• Current limit
1 % of the range (at 100 nA Range)
1 nA (at 10 nA Range)
• Voltage limit
20 mV (at 0.2 V range)
• If the current limit value is too low, the channel will require a long settling time.
• The limit value can be specified asynchronously to positive and negative.
