Details
With this attribute enabled (setting
action
to
smu
X
.ENABLE
or
smu
X
.ASYNC
), configure the measurement with
one of the
smu
X
.trigger.measure.
Y
()
functions.
If this attribute is set to
smu
X
.ASYNC
:
•
Asynchronous sweep measurements can only be used with measure autoranging turned off. To turn
measure autoranging off for all measurements during the sweep, set the
smu
X
.measure.autorange
Y
attribute to
smu
X
.AUTORANGE_OFF
.
•
If the integrating ADC is selected (
smu
X
.measure.adc
attribute is set to
smu
X
.ADC_INTEGRATE
),
autozero must also be turned off. To turn off autozero, set the
smu
X
.measure.autozero
attribute to
smu
X
.AUTOZERO_OFF
or
smu
X
.AUTOZERO_ONCE
.
If either of the above items are incorrectly configured, the
smu
X
.trigger.initiate()
function will generate
an error.

smuX.trigger.measure.set()
This function sets the measure event detector to the detected state.
Type

Where saved
Default value
Function Yes
Usage
smu
X
.trigger.measure.set()
X
Source-measure unit (SMU) channel (for example,
smua.trigger.measure.set()
applies to SMU channel A)
Details
This function is useful whenever you want the SMU to continue operation without waiting for a programmed
trigger event. When called, this function immediately satisfies the event detector, allowing the SMU to continue
through the trigger model.
A common example of when this function can be used is when you want the SMU to immediately perform an
action the first time through the trigger model even if a programmed trigger event does not occur. Make sure that
if the event detectors are configured to automatically clear (because the
smu
X
.trigger.autoclear
attribute
is set to
smu
X
.ENABLE
) that this command is issued after the SMU has entered the trigger layer. This function
can also be used to start actions on the SMU in case of a missed trigger event.
The SMU will automatically clear all event detectors when the
smu
X
.trigger.initiate()
function is
executed. This function should be called after the sweep is initiated.
Example
smua.trigger.measure.set()
Sets the measure event detector of
SMU channel A.
