smua.source.compliance
This attribute contains the state of source compliance.
Usage
compliance = smua.source.compliance
The state of source compliance:
â–ª true: Indicates that the limit function is in control of the source (source in
compliance)
â–ª false: Indicates that the source function is in control of the output (source
not in compliance)
Details
Reading this attribute updates the status model and the front panel with generated compliance
information. See Current Limit (ILMT) in the status model diagram for the Measurement event
registers (on page 15-7). The Voltage Limit (VLMT) is not shown in the status model diagram for the
Measurement event registers, but is similar to the Current Limit (ILMT).
Example
compliance = smua.source.compliance
print(compliance)
Reads the source compliance state.
Output:
true
This output indicates that a configured limit has been reached (voltage, current, or power limit).

smua.source.delay
This attribute contains the source delay.
SMU reset
Instrument reset
Recall setup
Usage
sDelay = smua.source.delay
smua.source.delay = sDelay
Set to the source delay value (for example, to specify an additional 10 ms source
delay, set the value to 0.010); you can also set it one of the following values:
â–ª 0 or smua.DELAY_OFF: No delay
â–ª -1 or smua.DELAY_AUTO: Automatic delay value
