Common operation mode - SMU
Common operation mode maintains a zero-voltage state at the terminal, subject to the maximum
current compliance of the connected SMU. The 4200-SMU has a compliance level of 105 mA. The
4210-SMU has a compliance level of 1.05 A.
You cannot set any parameters for the Common operation mode.

SMU - all terminal parameters

When you select All Parameters, the Configure pane displays all available parameters for the test
that is selected in the project tree.
The descriptions of each operation mode contains a list and brief description of the parameters that
are available when that mode is selected. Full parameter descriptions are provided in the following
topics.
Bias
The bias is the amount of voltage or current to be forced.
Start (sweep)
The current or voltage source level at which the sweep starts. For a log sweep, the start value cannot
be 0.
Stop (sweep)
The voltage or current source level at which the sweep stops. For a log sweep, the stop value cannot
be 0 or the opposite polarity of the start value.
Step (voltage sweep)
The voltage size of each step of the sweep. The source level changes in equal steps of this size from
the start level to the stop level. A measurement is made at each source step (including the start and
stop levels).
Clarius never steps the force voltage beyond the value specified by the stop parameter, even if you
specify a step value that is larger than the stop value.
Use a step value that does not result in a fractional number of data points. If the data point is
fractional, the step value is forced to a value that results in a whole number of data points. To
calculate the data points:

Description
(on page 6- The name of the voltage measurement. This is the name that Clarius
displays in the Analyze spreadsheet column for that measurement.
(on page 6-45) The measure range determines the full-scale measurement span that is
applied to the signal.
(on page 6-46) When this option is selected, Clarius records measurement status
information when the test executes. A column of the Analyze spreadsheet
displays this information. Hover over a cell to review the information.
