Details
Output data includes transconductance values, reading buffer with measured voltages, reading buffer
with measured voltages and currents.
If all parameters are omitted when this function is called, this function is executed with the parameters
set to the default values.
The
gm_isweep()
function performs a linear current sweep, measuring voltage and current, and
then calculating the transconductance (Gm) at each point using the central difference method. It can
return an array of Gm values, a reading buffer with the measured voltages, and a reading buffer with
the measured currents.
Example
gm_array = gm_isweep(smua, 0, 0.01, 20)
gm_array, vbuf = gm_isweep(smua, 0, 0.01, 20)
gm_array, vbuf, ibuf = gm_isweep(smua, 0,
0.01, 20)
Source-measure unit (SMU) A returns Gm
values only.
SMU A returns Gm and reading buffer with
measured voltages.
SMU A returns Gm and reading buffers with
measured voltages and currents.
