User’s Manual Source-Measure Concepts 6-3
When in range compliance, the source output clamps at the maximum compliance
value for the fixed measurement range (not the compliance value). For example, if
compliance is set to 1V and the measurement range is 200mV, output voltage will
clamp at 210mV. In this situation, the units in the compliance display field will
flash. For example, with the following display: Vcmpl: 10mA, the “mA” units indica-
tion will flash.
Maximum compliance values
The maximum compliance values for the measurement ranges are summarized in
Table 6-1.
