Usage
mDelay

.measure.delay
smu
X
.measure.delay =
mDelay
mDelay
Set to the measurement delay value in seconds (for example, to specify an
additional 10 ms measurement delay, set the value to
0.010
)
You can also set it one of the following values:
0
or
smu
X
.DELAY_OFF
: No delay
-1
or
smu
X
.DELAY_AUTO
: Automatic delay value
X
Source-measure unit (SMU) channel (for example,
smua.measure.delay
applies
to SMU channel A)
Details
This attribute allows for additional delay (settling time) before making a measurement. If you define
the value instead of using the automatic delay value, the delay you set is used regardless of the
range.
The
smu
X
.DELAY_AUTO
setting causes a current range-dependent delay to be inserted when a
current measurement is requested. This happens when a current measurement command is
executed, when the measure action is being performed in a sweep, or after changing ranges during
an autoranged measurement.
If
smu
X
.measure.count
is greater than 1, the measurement delay is only inserted before the first
measurement.
Example
smua.measure.delay = 0.010
Sets a 10 ms measurement delay for SMU channel A.
