Setting up a sweep using TSP commands
To set up a sweep using TSP commands, you send one of the following commands:
•
smu.source.sweeplinear()
: Sets up a linear sweep for a set number of measurement
points.
•
smu.source.sweeplinearstep()
: Sets up a linear source sweep configuration list and
trigger model with a fixed number of steps.
•
smu.source.sweeplist()
: Sets up a sweep based on a configuration list, which allows you to
customize the sweep.
•
smu.source.sweeplog()
: Sets up a logarithmic sweep for a set number of measurement
points.
To create a sweep:
1. Set the source function using
smu.source.func
.
2. Set the source range using
smu.source.range
.
3. Set any other source settings that apply to your sweep. You must set source settings before the
sweep function is called.
4. If you are using
smu.source.sweeplist()
, set up the source configuration list for your sweep.
5. Set the parameters for the sweep command.
6. Set the measurement function using
smu.measure.func
.
7. Set the measurement range using
smu.measure.range
.
8. Make any other settings appropriate to your sweep.
9. Send
trigger.model.initiate()
to start the sweep.
To save your settings, save them to a configuration script using the
createconfigscript()
command.
