Initiating and running sweeps
To run a sweep, you must configure the number of sweep points to output and the number of sweeps
to perform. Use the trigger count to set the number of sweep points to output. Use the arm count to
set the number of times to perform the sweep. See
(on page 3-31) for more information.
Examples:
To start a sweep, use the
smu
X
.trigger.initiate()
function. Sweeps are overlapped
operations, so you can use the
waitcomplete()
function as a way to suspend further operation
until the sweep is complete.
To sweep 15 source points:
smua.trigger.count = 15
To perform eight sweeps:
smua.trigger.arm.count = 8
Aborting a sweep
The
smu
X
.abort()
function can be used to terminate all overlapped operations on a
source-measure unit (SMU), including sweeps. It returns the SMU to the idle state of the remote
trigger model. See
(on page 3-31) for more information.
Sweeping using factory scripts
Factory script functions that perform linear staircase, logarithmic staircase, and list sweeps are listed
in
(on page 5-1). You can use the factory script functions to perform
and execute simple sweeps, or use them as examples for programming your own custom sweeps.
