Compliance limit
When sourcing voltage, the SourceMeter can be set to limit current. Conversely,
when sourcing current, the SourceMeter can be set to limit voltage. The
SourceMeter output will not exceed the compliance limit. The maximum
compliance limit is the same as the maximum values listed in
the compliance value will take the same sign as the source value, and the
maximum compliance limits are based on source range. See
Section 8
being exceeded is the VLIMIT when operating as an ISOURCE. To avoid
excessive (and potentially destructive) currents from flowing, the VLIMIT will
source or sink up to 102mA for ISOURCE ranges on or below 100mA. For the
ranges 1A and above, the maximum current allowed is the current source setting.
