The voltage protection status:
▪ true: The protection circuit was tripped
▪ false: The protection circuit was not tripped
Details
When the pulser is enabled, this attribute indicates if the protection circuit was tripped. When the
protection circuit is tripped, the output is shorted and turned off.
The following events can trip the protection circuit:
• A voltage greater than smua.pulser.protect.sensev was detected on the sense terminals.
• A voltage greater than smua.pulser.protect.sourcev was detected on the force terminals.
• The maximum pulse width was exceeded during trigger model operation.
• The maximum duty cycle was exceeded during trigger model operation.
• If the SMU cannot keep up with the pulse rate.
• If the SMU cannot keep up with the measurement rate.
The status is reset to false when the pulser is disabled or when the output is turned on.
Example
print(smua.pulser.protect.tripped)
