SuperMode
SuperMode
allows creating chains of measurement modules to better fit your characterisation
procedures. Instead of applying consecutive different pulsing modules by hand, simply create an
experiment chain with full flexibility.
The module can be found as a bold entry in the drop-down list on the
Advanced Modules Panel.
The left-hand side column contains the available modules built in the platform, along with basic ones
such as time delay (Delay), single voltage pulse and single READ operation. Furthermore,
Start Loop
and
End Loop
indicators can be utilised as well.
You can drag-and- drop your required modules onto the next column on the right (the chain column),
between the blue
Start
and
End
markers. Rearrange them also by drag-and-drop, and discard
unwanted ones by dropping them outside the chain column. When applying such an experiment
chain to your devices, the instructions will be executed from top to bottom (
Start
to
End
).
Double click on a positioned module in the chain column to modify the procedure parameters. The
selected module will be highlighted in the chain column. Double click on the
Start Loop
indicator to
set the number of repetitions of the block contained. Nested loops are possible, and the system will
check the order of the
Start Loop
and
End Loop
indicators for consistency before starting an
experiment.
You can
Save
and later
Load
measurement chains via the corresponding buttons. The
Clear
button
will delete all entries from the chain column.
