Description
:SOURce:FUNCtion <name> Select source function: <name> = VOLTage or CURRent.
:SOURce:xxx:MODE FIXed Select fixed V or I sourcing mode.
:SOURce:xxx:RANGe <n> Select measurement range for V or I source: <n> = range.
:SOURce:xxx:LEVel <n> Set source amplitude: <n> = amplitude in volts or amps.
[:SENSe]:FUNCtion <name> Select measure function: <name> = “VOLTage” or “CURRent”.
[:SENSe]:xxx:PROTection <n> Set V or I compliance: <n> = compliance.
[:SENSe]:xxx:RANGe <n> Select V or I measure range: <n> = range.
[:SENSe]:xxx:RANGe:AUTO <b> Enable or disable auto range: <b> = ON or OFF.
:OUTPut <b> Turn output on or off: <b> = ON or OFF.
:READ? Trigger and acquire one data string.
1. For measure only, the following rules apply (Table 9 provides an example to measure I only):
a.To measure V only, you must source I. To measure I only, you must source V.
b. The source must be set to 0V or 0A.
c. When measuring V only, DO NOT use auto range.
d. When measuring V only, voltage compliance MUST be set higher than the voltage being measured.
2. :xxx = :VOLTage or :CURRent.
Table 8
SCPI commands: measure ohms
Command Description
[:SENSe]:FUNCtion “RESistance” Select ohms function.
[:SENSe]:RESistance:MODE <name> Select ohms mode: <name> = AUTO or MANual*.
[:SENSe]:RESistance:OCOMpensated <b> Enable/disable offset compensation.
[:SENSe]:RESistance:RANGe <n> Select range for auto ohms: <n> = range.
[:SENSe]:RESistance:RANGe:AUTO <b> Enable or disable auto range for auto ohms: <b> = ON or
OFF.
:OUTPut <b> Turn output on or off: <b> = ON or OFF.
:READ? Trigger and acquire one data string.
*For manual ohms, you must configure the SourceMeter to source-measure. Table 12 provides a programming example to
measure ohms using the manual ohms method.
