Example
format.asciiprecision = 10
x = 2.54
printnumber(x)
format.asciiprecision = 3
printnumber(x, 2.54321, 3.1) Configure the ASCII precision to 10 and set
x
to
2.54.
Read the value of
x
based on these settings.
Change the ASCII precision to 3.
View how the change affects the output of
x
and
some numbers.
Output:
2.54000
2.54e+00, 2.54e+00, 3.10e+00

Number of pulse-measure cycles
Details
Data for pulsed voltage measurements, current levels, and timestamps are stored in
smua.nvbuffer1.
If any parameters are omitted or
nil
, the operator is prompted to enter them using the front panel.
To perform the specified number of pulse I, measure V cycles, this function:
1. Sets the
smu
to output
bias
amperes and dwell for
toff
seconds.
2. Sets the
smu
to output
level
amperes and dwell for
ton
seconds.
3. Performs voltage measurement with source at
level
amperes.
4. Sets the
smu
to output
bias
amperes for
toff
seconds.
5. Repeats steps 2 through 4 for all remaining
points
pulse-measure cycles.
