Pulse current sweep example
The programming example below illustrates a pulse sweep.
-- Restore 2606B defaults.
smua.reset()
-- Set compliance to 10 V.
smua.source.limitv = 10
1. Configure source functions.
Restores defaults and set the
compliance to 10 V.
-- Pulse current sweep, 1 mA bias,
-- 10 mA level, 10 ms pulse on,
-- 50 ms pulse off, 10 cycles.
PulseIMeasureV(smua, 1e-3, 10e-3, 20e-3, 50e-3, 10)
2. Configure and execute the sweep.
Configures a 10 mA pulse current
sweep with a 10 ms pulse on time, a
50 ms pulse off time, and 10 pulse-
measure cycles.
printbuffer(1, 10, smua.nvbuffer1.readings)
3. Request readings.
Requests readings from buffer 1.
List sweep example
The programming example below illustrates a list sweep.
-- Restore 2606B defaults.
smua.reset()
-- Set compliance to 10 mA.
smua.source.limiti = 10e-3
1. Configure source functions.
Restores defaults and set the compliance
to 10 mA.
-- Define voltage list.
vlist = {3, 1, 4, 5, 2}
-- List sweep, channel A, 3 V, 1 V, 4 V,
-- 5 V, 2 V steps, 0.1 s delay, 5 points.
SweepVListMeasureI(smua, vlist, 0.1, 5)
2. Configure and execute the sweep.
Configures a list sweep with 3 V, 1 V, 4 V,
5 V, and 2 V points using a 0.1 second
settling time.
printbuffer(1, 5, smua.nvbuffer1.readings)
3. Request readings.
Requests readings from buffer 1.
Triggering
Triggering allows you to capture measurements when an input signal or combination of input signals
meet a set of conditions that you set.
Remote triggering overview
There are two programming methods for triggering:
•
Using the trigger model
•
Interactive triggering
