Details
Using smuX.SETTLE_FAST_RANGE may cause the SMU to exceed the range change overshoot specification.
smuX.SETTLE_FAST_POLARITY does not go to zero when changing polarity and may create inconsistencies at
the zero crossing.
smuX.SETTLE_DIRECT_IRANGE switches the SMU directly to the target range instead of the default "range-by-
range" method. This option is mutually exclusive of any other smuX.SETTLE_FAST_* commands.
Example
smua.source.settling = smua.SETTLE_FAST_POLARITY

Set to the source settling mode. Set to one of the following values:
0 or smuX.SETTLE_SMOOTH: Turns off additional settling operations (default).
1 or smuX.SETTLE_FAST_RANGE: Instructs the SMU to use a faster procedure
when changing ranges.
2 or smuX.SETTLE_FAST_POLARITY: Instructs the SMU to change polarity without
going to zero.
3 or smuX.SETTLE_DIRECT_IRANGE: Instructs the SMU to change the current
range directly.
4 or smuX.SETTLE_SMOOTH_100NA: Enables the use of range rampers for the 100
nA range.
128 or smuX.SETTLE_FAST_ALL: Enables all smuX.SETTLE_FAST_* operations.
SMU channel (for example, smua.source.settling applies to SMU Channel A).
