4-168 Agilent B1500A/B1505A Programming Guide, Edition 11
Command Reference
*RST
Syntax RM chnum,mode[,rate]
where the rate parameter is available for mode=2 or 3.
Parameters chnum : SMU current measurement channel number. Integer expression. 1 to 10
or 101 to 1001. See Table 4-1 on page 4-16.
mode : Range changing operation mode. Integer expression. 1, 2 or 3.
where current1 and current2 are given by the following formula:
current1 = measurement range × rate /100
current2 = measurement range × rate /1000
For example, if measurement range=10 mA and rate=90, these values
are as follows:
current1 = 9 mA
current2 = 0.9 mA
rate: Parameter used to calculate the current value. Numeric expression.
11 to 100. Default setting is 50.
Example
Statements
OUTPUT @B1500;"RM 1,2"
OUTPUT @B1500;"RM 2,3,60"
*RST
The *RST command resets the B1500 to the initial settings.
Syntax *RST
Remarks If you want to reset channels while a sweep measurement is being performed, you
must first send the AB command, then the *RST command.
The *RST command does not clear the following data.
mode Description
1 Initial setting. If you set mode=1, do not set rate.
2Ifmeasured data ≥ current1, the range changes up after
measurement.
3
If measured data ≤ current2, the range changes down
immediately, and if measured data ≥ current1, the range
changes up after measurement.
