Smux.source.lowrangey - Keithley 2601B Reference Manual

Section 7: TSP command reference
Details
Use the smuX.source.limiti attribute to limit the current output of the voltage source. Use
smuX.source.limitv to limit the voltage output of the current source. The SMU always uses autoranging for
the limit setting. Use the smuX.source.limitp attribute to limit the output power of the source.
This attribute should be set in the test sequence before the turning the source on.
Using a limit value of 0 results in error code 1102, "Parameter too small," for v and i. Setting this attribute to
zero disables power compliance for p. When setting the power compliance limit to a nonzero value, the SMU
adjusts the source limit where appropriate to limit the output to the specified power. The SMU uses the lower of
the programmed compliance value (the compliance level that would be used if power compliance were disabled)
or the limit calculated from the power compliance setting.
Reading this attribute indicates the presently set compliance value. Use smuX.source.compliance to read
the state of source compliance.
Example
smua.source.limitv = 30
