To configure the output-off limits from the front panel:
1. Press the CONFIG key.
2. Press the OUTPUT ON/OFF control.
3. Select OFF-STATE and then select LIMIT.
4. Select CURRENT or VOLTAGE.
5. Set the limit value and then press the ENTER key or the navigation wheel (for details, see
Setting a value (on page 3-11)).
6. Press the EXIT key to return to the normal display.
Setting output-off limits using the remote interface
To set the current limit in NORMAL output-off mode remotely:
smua.source.offlimiti = iValue
To set the voltage limit in NORMAL output-off mode remotely:
smua.source.offlimitv = vValue
Remote programming output-off states quick reference
The content of the following table is a quick reference of commands for programming output-off states
from a remote interface. For more detail, refer to the command descriptions:
• smua.source.offfunc (on page 11-231)
• smua.source.offmode (on page 11-233)
• smua.source.offlimitY (on page 11-232)
Output-off state programming quick reference
smua.source.offmode = smua.OUTPUT_NORMAL
Selects normal output-off mode.
smua.source.offmode = smua.OUTPUT_HIGH_Z
Selects high-impedance output-off mode.
smua.source.offmode = smua.OUTPUT_ZERO
Selects zero output-off mode.
smua.source.offfunc = smua.OUTPUT_DCVOLTS
Sets 0 V output with current limit specified by
the smua.source.offlimiti attribute.
smua.source.offfunc = smua.OUTPUT_DCAMPS
Sets 0 A output with voltage limit specified by
the smua.source.offlimitv attribute.
smua.source.offlimiti = iValue
Sets current limit in normal output-off mode.
smua.source.offlimitv = vValue
Sets voltage limit in normal output-off mode.
