configListName A string that contains the name of the configuration list that the instrument will
create for this sweep
start The voltage or current source level at which the sweep starts:

Current: -1.05 A to 1.05 A

Voltage: -1100 V to 1100 V
stop The voltage or current at which the sweep stops:

Current: -1.05 A to 1.05 A

Voltage: -1100 V to 1100 V
points
The number of source-measure points between the start and stop values of the
sweep (2 to 1e6); to calculate the number of source-measure points in a sweep, use
the following formula:
Points = [(Stop - Start) / Step] + 1
sDelay The delay between measurement points; default is
smu.DELAY_AUTO
, which
enables autodelay, or a specific delay value from 50
µ
s to 10 ks, or 0 for no delay
count The number of times to run the sweep; default is
1
:

Infinite loop:
smu.INFINITE

Finite loop:
1
to
268,435,455
rangeType The source range that is used for the sweep:

Most sensitive source range for each source level in the sweep:
smu.RANGE_AUTO

Best fixed range:
smu.RANGE_BEST
(default)

Present source range for the entire sweep:
smu.RANGE_FIXED
failAbort Complete the sweep if the source limit is exceeded:
smu.OFF
Abort the sweep if the source limit is exceeded:
smu.ON
(default)
