Series 2600 System SourceMeters Reference Manual
Remote power programming
The following paragraphs summarize basic commands necessary for remote
power programming and also give a programming example for a typical power
measurement situation.
Remote power command
Use the following command to obtain a power reading:
reading = smuX.measure.p()
See Table 4-7
tions and also Section 12 for more details.
Power programming example
The command sequence for a typical power measurement is shown below. These
commands set up the SourceMeter as follows:
•
•
•
smua.reset()
smua.source.func = smua.OUTPUT_DCVOLTS
smua.source.autorangev = smua.AUTORANGE_ON --Set source range to auto.
smua.source.levelv = 5
smua.source.limiti = 50e-3
smua.measure.autorangei = smua.AUTORANGE_ON--Set current range to auto.
smua.source.output = smua.OUTPUT_ON
print(smua.measure.p())
smua.source.output = smua.OUTPUT_OFF
for more commands necessary to set up source and measure func-
Source function: voltage, auto source range, 5V output
Current measure function and range: current, auto
Current compliance: 50mA

--Restore Series 2600 defaults.
--Select voltage source function.
--Set voltage source to 5V.
--Set current limit to 50mA.
--Turn on output.
--Get power reading.
--Turn off output.
