Series 2600A System SourceMeter® Instruments Reference Manual
Section 19: Remote Commands
Parameters
smu, starti, stopi, stime, points
smu:
SourceMeter instrument Channel (A or B). Defaults
to SMU A if all parameters are omitted when function
is called.
starti:
Sweep start current in amps.
stopi:
Sweep stop current in amps.
stime:
Settling time in seconds. Occurs after stepping the
source and before performing a measurement.
points:
Number of sweep points (must be
≥
2).
Data
Voltage measurements, current source values and timestamps are stored in
smuX.nvbuffer1
.
Example
SweepILinMeasureV(smua, -1E-3, 1E-3, 0, 100)
This function performs a 100-point linear current sweep starting at -1mA and
stopping at +1mA. Voltage is measured at every step (point) in the sweep. Since
stime
is set for 0s, voltage will be measured as fast as possible after each
current step.

Function:
SweepVLinMeasureI(smu, startv, stopv, stime, points)
Description
Performs a linear voltage sweep with current measured at every step (point):
• Sets the
smu
to output
startv
volts, allows the source to settle for
stime
seconds and then performs a current measurement.
• Sets the
smu
to output the next volts step, allows the source to settle for
stime
seconds and then performs a current measurement.
• Repeats the above sequence until the current is measured on the
stopv
volts
step.
The linear step size is automatically calculated as follows:
step = (stopv – startv) / (points – 1)
