Compliance examples
When the SourceMeter goes into real compliance, the Cmpl label for the compli-
ance display will flash. When the SourceMeter goes into range compliance, the
units label (“mA”) will flash instead. For the following examples, labels in boldface
type indicate that they are flashing.
Measurement Range:100mA
Compliance Setting: Cmpl: 075.000 mA Flashing Cmpl indicates that real compliance
has occurred. The output is clamped at 75mA.
Measurement Range:10µA
Compliance Setting: Cmpl: 075.000 µA Flashing mA indicates that range compliance
has occurred. The output is clamped at
10.5µA.
Determining compliance limit
Table 6-2 provides examples (Model 2400) for determining the actual compliance
limit. For the first three entries in the table, the compliance setting is 150V. On the
200V measurement range, the actual compliance is 150V (compliance setting <
2425/2430 2440
