PLSDIV TIS Commands
PlsdivMeasureId
PlsdivMeasureId
This command performs the pulsed IV measurement and returns the measurement
result. This performs drain voltage spot measurement and calculates current value.
Filename PlsdivMeasureId.exe
Write Type
String
Read Type
List
Write String This command needs the following input parameters in this sequence.
ranging Measurement ranging mode. Numeric value, 0 (auto ranging) or
1 (fixed ranging).
id_range Drain current range, in A. Numeric value, 0 to 0.08.
Ranging Mode Auto ranging uses the best measurement range for the monitor value automatically.
The maximum range is the best range for the specified
id_range value.
Fixed ranging uses the best range for the specified id_range value. This mode will
improve measurement throughput.
Read List This command returns the following output parameters in this sequence. To read the
values, specify a vector variable in the Values field of the ReadList area. The values
are stored in the first element to the fourth element of the vector variable.
id Drain current, calculated from vd_actual . Numeric value, in A.
vd_set Drain voltage, SMU output value. Numeric value, in V.
vd_actual Drain voltage, oscilloscope monitor value. Numeric value, in V.
conv_stat Convergence result of the drain voltage automatic adjustment.
Numeric value, 0 (convergence condition is satisfied) or
-
1 (not
satisfied). If the automatic adjustment is off, 0 is returned. The
convergence condition is a system parameter, not
user-definable.
Auto Adjustment
This function is set by the PlsdivSetAdjustStat command, and is used to adjust the
drain voltage automatically so that the
vd_actual value is close to the vd value
specified by the PlsdivForceVd command.
