Source-Measure Concepts
• Compliance Limit — Discusses compliance limit including real and range compli-
ances, maximum compliance values, and how to determine compliance limit.
• Overheating Protection — Explains how to keep the SourceMeter from overheating.
• Source-Delay-Measure Cycle — Describes the various phases of the source-delay-
measure cycle as well as sweep waveforms.
• Operating Boundaries — Covers voltage and current operating boundaries for source
and sink operation, I-source and V-source, and source-measure modes.
• Basic Circuit Configurations — Covers basic circuit configurations for source I,
source V, and measure only operating modes.
• Guard — Covers cable guard, ohms guard, and guard sense.
• Data Flow — Describes measurement readings, math, rel, and limits operation, and
how data is stored in the buffer.
