configListName
A string that contains the name of the configuration list that the instrument will
create for this sweep
start
The voltage or current source level at which the sweep starts:
•
Current: -7.35 A to 7.35 A
•
Voltage: -105 V to 105 V
stop
The voltage or current at which the sweep stops:
•
Current: -7.35 A to 7.35 A
•
Voltage: -105 V to 105 V
step
The step size at which the source level will change; must be more than 0
sDelay
The delay between measurement points; default is
smu.DELAY_AUTO
, which
enables autodelay, a specific delay value from 50 µ s to 10 ks, or 0 for no delay
count
The number of times to run the sweep; default is
1
:
•
Infinite loop:
smu.INFINITE
•
Finite loop:
1
to
268,435,455
rangeType
The source range that is used for the sweep:
•
Most sensitive source range for each source level in the sweep:
smu.RANGE_AUTO
•
Best fixed range:
smu.RANGE_BEST
(default)
•
Present source range for the entire sweep:
smu.RANGE_FIXED
failAbort
Complete the sweep if the source limit is exceeded:
smu.OFF
Abort the sweep if the source limit is exceeded:
smu.ON
(default)
dual
Determines if the sweep runs from start to stop and then from stop to start:
•
Sweep from start to stop only:
smu.OFF
(default)
•
Sweep from start to stop, then stop to start:
smu.ON
bufferName
Indicates the reading buffer to use; the default buffers (
defbuffer1
or
defbuffer2
) or the name of a user-defined buffer; if no buffer is specified,
defbuffer1
is used
