4.4 Leakage Measurements (SMU2064)
The SMU2064 measures leakage currents by applying a DC voltage across the device under test, and
measuring the current through it. Three ranges are provided, 240nA, 2.4uA and 24uA. The voltage can be
set between -10V and +10V. See Figures 4-8 for connection. The DC voltage at which leakage is
measured is set using DMMSetDCVSource(). Leakage current is read using DMMRead(),
DMMReadStr() or DMMReadNorm() functions. Use DMMReadTestV to measure precisely the test
voltage being applied.
