Selecting the output-off function
This setting is used only when the output is turned off and the source-measure unit (SMU) is in
NORMAL output-off mode.
To configure the output-off function from the front panel:
1. Press the CONFIG key.
2. Press the OUTPUT ON/OFF control.
3. Select OFF-STATE and then select FUNCTION.
4. Select CURRENT or VOLTAGE.
5. Press the EXIT key to return to the normal display.
Remote configuration of the output-off function
To configure the output-off function remotely:
To set 0 V output with current limit set by the smua.source.offlimiti attribute:
smua.source.offfunc = smua.OUTPUT_DCVOLTS
To set 0 A output with voltage limit set by the smua.source.offlimitv attribute:
smua.source.offfunc = smua.OUTPUT_DCAMPS
Output-off limits (compliance)
You can set output-off limits (compliance) for the current and voltage output-off functions using the
CONFIG menu on the 2601B-PULSE front panel, or by setting the smua.source.offlimitY
attribute from a remote interface. The output-off limits only apply when the output-off mode is normal.
Setting output-off limits
Setting the output-off limit for CURRENT (smua.source.offlimiti) specifies the current limit for
the voltage source; setting the output-off limit for VOLTAGE (smua.source.offlimitv) specifies
the voltage limit for the current source.
