Section 3: Instrument description
Display screen
The virtual front panel displays source-measure values and readings or user-defined messages. The
display screen options include:
•
Source-measure, compliance screens: Display SMU source-measure readings and
compliance values.
•
User screen: Displays user-defined messages and prompts.
Configure the type of source-measure and compliance displayed by setting the display.screen
attribute. The following programming example illustrates how to display source-measure and
compliance values, and measure readings for SMU A:
display.screen = display.SMUA
Measurement functions
With a source-measure screen selected, the measured reading can be displayed as volts, amperes,
ohms, or watts. Configure the type of measured reading displayed by setting the
display.smuX.measure.func attribute. The following programming example illustrates how to set
SMU A to display ohms measurements:
display.smua.measure.func = display.MEASURE_OHMS
Display resolution
Display resolution for measured readings can be set to 4½, 5½, or 6½. Configure the type of
resolution displayed by setting the display.smuX.digits attribute. The following programming
example illustrates how to set SMU A for 5½ digit resolution for measured readings:
display.smua.digits = display.DIGITS_5_5
Display trigger wait and clear
To set the instrument to wait for the virtual front-panel TRIG key to be pressed, send the
display.trigger.wait() function. To clear the trigger event detector, send the
display.trigger.clear() function.
