Command Reference
TDV
Parameters chnum : SMU source channel number. Integer expression. 1 to 10 or 101 to
1001. See Table 4-1 on page 4-16.
vrange: Ranging type for voltage output. Integer expression. The output range
will be set to the minimum range that covers voltage value. For the
limited auto ranging, the instrument never uses the range less than the
specified range. See Table 4-4 on page 4-21.
voltage: Output voltage (V). Numeric expression. See Table 4-7 on page 4-24,
Table 4-9 on page 4-26, Table 4-12 on page 4-27, or Table 4-15 on page
4-28 for each measurement resource type.
Icomp: Current compliance value (in A). Numeric expression. See Table 4-7 on
page 4-24, Table 4-9 on page 4-26, Table 4-12 on page 4-27, or Table
4-15 on page 4-28 for each measurement resource type. If you do not
set Icomp, the previous value is used. 0 A is not allowed for Icomp.
polarity: Polarity of current compliance. Integer expression.
0: Auto mode (default setting). The compliance polarity is
automatically set to the same polarity as voltage, regardless of the
specified Icomp. If voltage=0 V, the polarity is set to positive.
1: Manual mode. Uses the polarity of Icomp you specified.
irange: Current compliance ranging type. Integer expression. The compliance
range will be set to the minimum range that covers Icomp value. For the
limited auto ranging, the instrument never uses the range less than the
specified range. See Table 4-5 on page 4-22.
Remarks To read the time data with the best resolution (100 μs), the timer must be cleared
every 100 sec or less for the FMT1, 2, or 5 data output format, or
every 1000 sec or less for the FMT 11, 12, 15, 21, 22, or 25 data output format.
