Basic SourceMeter operations

Fundamental SourceMeter operations include source-measure, measure only (V or I) and
measure ohms.

Source-measure

There are four source-measure combinations for the SourceMeter:
Source V, Measure I
Source I, Measure V
Source V, Measure V
Source I, Measure I
The basic procedure to source-measure is provided in Table 2. It assumes that the DUT is
already connected to the SourceMeter as explained in Basic connections.
