Details
When auto clear is set to on, limit conditions are cleared automatically after each measurement. If
you are making a series of measurements, the instrument shows the limit test result of the last
measurement for the pass or fail indication for the limit.
If you want to know if any of a series of measurements failed the limit, set the auto clear setting to off.
When this is set to off, a failed indication is not cleared automatically. It remains set until it is cleared
with the clear command.
The auto clear setting affects both the high and low limits.
Example
smu.measure.func = smu.FUNC_DC_CURRENT
smu.measure.limit[1].autoclear = smu.ON
Turns on autoclear for limit 1 when
measuring DC current.

This function clears the results of the limit test defined by Y for the selected measurement function.
