Usage
unitOfMeasure = smu.measure.unit
smu.measure.unit = unitOfMeasure
unitOfMeasure
The units of measure to be displayed for the measurement:
 Current: smu.UNIT_AMP (only available for current measurements)
 Resistance: smu.UNIT_OHM (available for voltage, current, or resistance
measurements)
 Volts: smu.UNIT_VOLT (only available for voltage measurements)
 Power: smu.UNIT_WATT (only available for voltage or current
measurements)
Details
The change in measurement units is displayed when the next measurement is made. You can only
change the units for the listed functions.
Example
smu.measure.func = smu.FUNC_DC_VOLTAGE
smu.measure.unit = smu.UNIT_WATT
Changes the front-panel display and buffer
readings for voltage measurements to be
displayed as power readings in watts.
