Table 2
Source-measure procedure
Procedure
1. Select source function.
2. Set source level.
3. Set compliance limit.
4. Select measurement function.
5. If not measuring the source, select
measure range or use auto range (see
Notes 1 and 2).
6. Turn output on and take readings
from display.
7. Turn output off when finished.
Notes:
1. When measuring source (i.e., Source I, Measure I), you cannot change the measure range or enable auto
range. The measure range is determined by the source range.
2. When not measuring the source (i.e., Source I, Measure I), the compliance range determines the maximum
measurement range that can be selected.
Sink operation
When operating as a sink (V and I have opposite polarity), the SourceMeter is dissipating
power rather than sourcing it. An external source can force operation into the sink region. The
SourceMeter can be used to charge/discharge (source/sink) batteries. For operation information
on battery charging/discharging (and the associated precautions), see Section 3, Sink operation
of the 2400 Series SourceMeter User's Manual.
