points
Number of pulse-measure cycles
buffer
Reading buffer where pulsed measurements will be stored; if this is
nil
when the function is
called, no measurements will be made when the pulse train is initiated
tag
Numeric identifier to be assigned to the defined pulse train
sync_in
Defines a digital I/O trigger input line; if programmed, the pulse train will wait for a trigger input
before executing each pulse
sync_out
Defines a digital I/O trigger output line; if programmed, the pulse train will generate a trigger
output immediately before the start of
ton
sync_in_timeout
Specifies the length of time (in seconds) to wait for input trigger; default value is 10 s
sync_in_abort
Specifies whether or not to abort pulse if input trigger is not received; if pulse aborts because of
a missed trigger, a timer timeout message is returned;
true
or
false
Details
Data for pulsed voltage measurements are stored in the reading buffer specified by the
buffer
input
parameter.
This function configures a linear pulsed current sweep with a voltage measurement at each point.
Measurements are made at the end of the
ton
time.
The magnitude of the first pulse will be
start
amperes; the magnitude of the last pulse will be
stop
amperes. The magnitude of each pulse in between will be
step
amperes larger than the previous
pulse, where:
step = (stop - start) / (points - 1)
This function does not cause the specified
smu
to output a pulse train. It does check to see if all the
pulse dimensions can be achieved, and if they can, assigns the indicated
tag
or index to the pulse
train. The
InitiatePulseTest(
tag
)
and
InitiatePulseTestDual(
tag1
,
tag2
)
functions
are used to initiate a pulse train assigned to a valid
tag
.
