Performing front panel limit tests
Perform the basic steps below to run limit tests from the front panel. See “Remote limit
testing,” page 12-23, for remote commands and a programming example.
Step 1: Configure test system.
As previously explained, your test system could be as simple as connecting a DUT to the
SourceMeter (Section 2, “Connections”) or could employ the use of a handler for binning
operations. Adding a scanner to the test system allows you to test multi-element devices
(such as resistor networks).
Step 2: Configure source-measure functions.
Configure the SourceMeter for the desired source-measure operations as follows:
1. Select the desired source function by pressing SOURCE V or SOURCE I.
2. Set the source level and compliance limit to the desired values.
3. Press MEAS V or MEAS I to select the desired measurement function, then choose
the desired measurement range.
Refer to Section 3, “Basic source-measure procedure,” for more information.
