configListName
The name of the configuration list that the sweep uses; this must be defined before
sending this command
index
The index in the configuration list where the sweep starts; default is
1
delay
The delay between measurement points; default is 0 for no delay or you can set a
specific delay value from 50
µ
s to 10,000 seconds
count
The number of times to run the sweep; default is
1

•
Infinite loop:
smu.INFINITE
•
Finite loop:
1

failAbort
Abort the sweep if the source limit is exceeded:
smu.ON
(default)
Complete the sweep if the source limit is exceeded:
smu.OFF
bufferName
The name of a reading buffer; the default buffers (
defbuffer1
or
defbuffer2
) or
the name of a user-defined buffer; if no buffer is specified, this parameter defaults to
defbuffer1
Details
Sweeps are only available when the source function is set to voltage or current.
This command allows you to set up a custom sweep, using a configuration list to specify the source levels.
When you specify a delay, a delay block is added to the sweep trigger model. This delay is added to any source
delay you may have set. For example, if you set 10 ms for the source delay and 25 ms for the delay in the for the
log sweep command, the actual delay is 35 ms.
To run the sweep, initiate the trigger model.
