Examples:
To start a sweep, use the
smu
X
.trigger.initiate()
function. Sweeps are overlapped
operations, so you can use the
waitcomplete()
function as a way to suspend further operation
until the sweep is complete.
To sweep 15 source points:
smua.trigger.count = 15
To perform eight sweeps:
smua.trigger.arm.count = 8
Aborting a sweep
You can use the
smu
X
.abort()
function to terminate all overlapped operations on a
source-measure unit (SMU), including sweeps. It returns the SMU to the idle state of the remote
trigger model. See
(on page 3-30) for more information.
Sweeping using factory scripts
Factory script functions that perform linear staircase, logarithmic staircase, and list sweeps are
described in
(on page 5-16). You can use the factory script functions to execute
simple sweeps, or use them as examples for programming your own custom sweeps.
