Line Description
2 to 11 Declares variables used through the project. And sets the proper values.
13 to 24 Declares variables used to set the source output, and sets the value.
25 to 29 Declares variables used to read the measurement data.
30 to 33 Sets the data output format, time stamp data output mode, SMU filter, and averaging.
34 to 35 Applies voltage to device.
