This attribute stores the measurement autorange setting.
Type TSP-Link accessible Affected by Where saved Default value
SMU reset
Usage
autoRange = smuX.measure.autorangeY
smuX.measure.autorangeY = autoRange
The state of the measurement autorange setting; set to one of the following values:
0 or smuX.AUTORANGE_OFF: Disabled
1 or smuX.AUTORANGE_ON: Enabled
2 or smuX.AUTORANGE_FOLLOW_LIMIT: Measure range automatically set to the limit
Source-measure unit (SMU) channel (for example, smua.measure.autorangev
applies to SMU channel A)
SMU measure function (v = voltage, i = current)
Details
This attribute indicates the measurement autorange state. Its value is smuX.AUTORANGE_OFF when
the SMU measure circuit is on a fixed range and smuX.AUTORANGE_ON when it is in autorange
mode.
Setting this attribute to smuX.AUTORANGE_OFF puts the SMU on a fixed range. The fixed range is the
present SMU measure range.
Setting this attribute to smuX.AUTORANGE_ON puts the SMU measure circuit in autorange mode. It
remains on its present measure range until the next measurement is requested.
If source highC mode is enabled, current autorange is set to smuX.AUTORANGE_FOLLOW_LIMIT and
cannot be changed.
Example
smua.measure.autorangev = 1
Enables voltage measurement autoranging for SMU
channel A. Alternatively, the value 1 may be replaced with
