Usage

smua.source.settling = settleOption
settleOption
Set to the source settling mode. Set to one of the following values:
▪ 0 or smua.SETTLE_SMOOTH: Turns off additional settling operations (default)
▪ 1 or smua.SETTLE_FAST_RANGE: Instructs the source-measure unit (SMU)
to use a faster procedure when changing ranges
▪ 2 or smua.SETTLE_FAST_POLARITY: Instructs the SMU to change polarity
without going to zero
▪ 3 or smua.SETTLE_DIRECT_IRANGE: Instructs the SMU to change the
current range directly
▪ 128 or smua.SETTLE_FAST_ALL: Enables all
smua.SETTLE_FAST_* operations
Details
Using smua.SETTLE_FAST_RANGE may cause the SMU to exceed the range change overshoot
specification.
smua.SETTLE_FAST_POLARITY does not go to zero when changing polarity and may create
inconsistencies at the zero crossing.
smua.SETTLE_DIRECT_IRANGE switches the SMU directly to the target range instead of the default
range-by-range method. This option is mutually exclusive of any other smua.SETTLE_FAST_*
commands.
Example
smua.source.settling = smua.SETTLE_FAST_POLARITY
Selects fast polarity changing.
