Maintains a zero-current state at the terminal, subject to the maximum voltage
compliance of the connected SMU.

specified current compliance of the connected SMU.
Increments a series of current values at a rate that is determined by the Timing
and Speed settings in the ITM Definition tab. Generates parametric curve data
that is recorded in the Sheet tab Data worksheet for the ITM and can be plotted in
the ITM Graph tab. A dual current sweep can also be performed by an SMU (see
