Table 3-8 summarizes the basic command sequence for measure only. The steps outlined

correspond to those in the Front panel measure only sequence above. These commands set up

the SourceMeter for measure only voltage measurements up to 20V as follows:

• Measure function: volts

• Source function: current

• Source mode: ﬁxed

• Source range: minimum

• Source value: 0mA

• Measure range: 20V

• Compliance 25V

1 Select measure, source functions. :SOUR:FUNC CURR Current source function.

:SOUR:CURR:MODE FIXED Fixed current source mode.

:SENS:FUNC “VOLT” Volts measure function.

2 Set source and compliance. :SOUR:CURR:RANG MIN Lowest source range.

:SOUR:CURR:LEV 0 0µA source level.

:SENS:VOLT:PROT 25 25V compliance.

3 Select volts measure range. :SENS:VOLT:RANG 20 20V range.

5 Turn on output. :OUTP ON Output on before measuring.

6 Read data. :READ? Trigger, acquire reading.

7 Turn off output. :OUTP OFF Output off after measuring.

running program.

Commands must be sent in order given.

Instrument must be addressed to talk after :READ? to acquire data.
