2. SMU setup, performance control, special operation, and numbers
SMU (source-measure unit) setup
SRC
When the pulser is disabled, selects the source function (voltage or current) and places
the cursor in the source field for editing. When the pulser is enabled, this key has no
action.
MEAS
Cycles through measure functions (voltage, current, resistance, or power).
LIMIT
When the pulser is disabled, places the cursor in the compliance limit field for editing.
Also selects the limit value to edit (voltage, current, or power). When the pulser is
enabled, switches the display between the source and sense protection levels.
MODE
Selects a meter mode (I-METER, V-METER, OHM-METER, or WATT-METER).
Performance control
DIGITS
Sets the display resolution (4½, 5½, or 6½ digits).
SPEED
Sets the measurement speed (FAST, MEDium, NORMAL, HI-ACCURACY, or OTHER).
Speed and accuracy are set by controlling the measurement aperture. Also see Speed
(on page 4-60).
REL
Controls relative measurements, which allows a baseline value to be subtracted from
a reading.
FILTER
Enables or disables the digital filter. You can use this filter to reduce reading noise.
Special operation
LOAD
Loads a test for execution (FACTORY, USER, or SCRIPTS).
RUN
Runs the last selected factory or user-defined test.
STORE
Accesses reading buffers and makes readings:
▪ TAKE_READINGS: Use to make readings and store them in a reading buffer.
▪ SAVE: Use to save a reading buffer to nonvolatile memory or to a user-installed
flash drive (USB1) in CSV or XML format.
Readings can include measurements, source values, and timestamp values.
RECALL
Recalls information (DATA or STATISTICS) stored in a reading buffer:
▪ DATA includes stored readings, and if configured, source values and
timestamp values.
▪ STATISTICS includes MEAN, STD DEV, SAMPLE SIZE, MINIMUM,
MAXIMUM, PK-PK.
TRIG
Triggers readings.
MENU
Accesses the main menu (on page 3-8). The main menu can be used to configure
many functions and features.
EXIT
Cancels the selection and returns to the previous menu or display. Also used as a
LOCAL key to take the instrument out of remote operation.
ENTER
Accepts the selection and moves to the next choice or exits the menu.
