Driver Functions
hp4156b_setPbias
hp4156b_setPbias
This function specifies the pulse output channel for the pulsed spot measurements
and the staircase sweep with pulsed bias measurements, and sets the parameters.
For the staircase sweep with pulsed bias measurements, the pulse output
synchronizes with the staircase sweep output by the hp4156b_setIv function.
