.trigger.IDLE_EVENT_ID
eventID
The idle event number
X
Source-measure unit (SMU) channel (for example,
smua.trigger.IDLE_EVENT_ID
applies to SMU channel A)
Details
Set the stimulus of any trigger object to the value of this constant to have the trigger object respond to
idle events from this SMU.
Example
trigger.timer[1].stimulus = smua.trigger.IDLE_EVENT_ID

Default value
Function
Yes
Usage
smu
X
.trigger.initiate()
X
Source-measure unit (SMU) channel (for example,
smua.trigger.initiate()
applies to SMU channel A)
Details
This function causes the SMU to clear the four trigger model event detectors and enter its trigger
model (moves the SMU from the idle state into the arm layer).
To perform source actions during the sweep, before calling this function, it is necessary to configure
and enable one of the following sweep source actions:
•
smu
X
.trigger.source.linear
Y
()
•
smu
X.
trigger.source.list
Y
()
•
smu
X
.trigger.source.log
Y
()
To make measurements during the sweep, you must also configure and enable the measure action
using
smu
X
.trigger.measure.
Y
