Section 8: Source-Measure Concepts Series 2600 System SourceMeter® Instruments Reference Manual
Overview
The documentation in this section provides detailed information on source-measure concepts and
includes the following information:
• "Compliance limit"
• "Sweep waveforms"
• "Overheating protection"
• "Operating boundaries"
• "Basic circuit configurations"
• "Guard"
• "Pulse concepts"
Compliance limit
When sourcing voltage, the Keithley Instruments Series 2600 System 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, except for the condition described in
"Compliance limit" in Section 4.
Maximum compliance
The maximum compliance values for the source ranges are summarized in Table 8-1.
