Source Measure Unit Software Guide

Getting started with electrical characterization is quick and easy with theSource Measure Unit and its bespoke software.

Captions


  • To engage the software, first connect the Source Measure Unit.
  • The system has two SMU channels and two Voltage channels. 
  • Each channel can be activated using the power buttons on-screen
  • For the SMU channels, you can vary the output voltage. The system will display the output voltage and the measured current within this current and voltage range. 
  • Each channel functions completely independently. Access each channel using the power buttons.
  • The data plotting software allows you to track current and voltage measurements from one channel over an extended time. 
  • You can pick different current ranges to change accuracy, precision and resolution of your measurement.
  • Use the I-V measurement software to measure I-V sweeps.
  • By simply setting a few measurement parameters, the SMU will sweep over a given voltage, measure current and plot the data for you.
  • The software allows you to easily compare measurements on the same graph or take repeat measurements.
  • The Ossila Source Measure Unit has two independent SMU channels and two independent voltmeter channels. 
  • This enables a wide range of experiments where you can control various components simultaneously.
  • This is also true for the IV software, simply change the SMU input to measure devices separately. 
  • Easily save and export this data using the save icon.
