Setting the limit
Set the limit from the front panel as follows:
1. Press the LIMIT key to directly access limit editing. Pressing the LIMIT key while in limit edit
mode toggles the display between the complementary function limit and the power limit display.
2. Press the navigation wheel and set the limit to the new value.
3. Press the ENTER key or the navigation wheel to complete editing.
4. Press the EXIT (LOCAL) key to return to the main display.
Set the limit using remote commands as follows:
The table below summarizes basic commands to program a limit. For a more complete description of
these commands, refer to the TSP command reference (on page 11-1).
Limit commands
Command
Description
smua.source.limiti = limit
Set current limit.
smua.source.limitv = limit
Set voltage limit.
smua.source.limitp = limit
Set power limit.
compliance = smua.source.compliance
Test if in limit (true = in limit; false = not in limit).
To set the limit, send the command with the limit value as the parameter. This programming example
illustrates how to set the current, voltage, and power limit to 50 mA, 4 V, and 1 W, respectively:
smua.source.limiti = 50e-3
smua.source.limitv = 4
smua.source.limitp = 1
