Details
Reading buffers can be created and allocated dynamically using this function. Use
bufferSize
to designate the
number of readings the buffer can store.
Dynamically allocated reading buffers can be used interchangeably with the
smu
X
.nvbuffer
Y
buffers.
A reading buffer can be deleted by setting all references to the reading buffer equal to
nil
, then running the
garbage collector (see the
collectgarbage()
(on page 6-30)).
Example
mybuffer2 = smua.makebuffer(200)
Creates a 200 element reading buffer (
mybuffer2)
for
SMU channel A .

adc
The analog to digital (A/D) converter used for measurements. Set to one of the
following:
0
or
smu
X
.ADC_INTEGRATE
: Integrating A/D converter
1
or
smu
X
.ADC_FAST
: Fast A/D converter
X
Source-measure unit (SMU) channel (for example,
smua.measure.adc
applies to
SMU channel A).
Details
When making measurements, the SMU uses one of two types of analog to digital converters. This attribute
controls which analog to converter is used.
Example
smua.measure.adc = smua.ADC_FAST
Selects the fast A/D converter for SMU
channel A.
