2635A
smua.trigger.initiate()
waitcomplete()
smua.source.output = 0
Initiate sweep.
Wait until sweep is complete, then
turn off the output.
707B or 708B
channel.open('allslots')
Open all crosspoints
2635A
printbuffer(1,smua.nvbuffer1.n,
smua.nvbuffer1.readings)
Retrieve data from the Model 2635A.
Example 2: Using TSP-Link to configure instruments
Using TSP-Link to configure the Series 2600A and Model 707B or 708B
This example is identical to the test in example 1, except that TSP-Link is used to communicate to the
Model 2635 System SourceMeter instrument from the Model 707B or 708B.
To run this test, you create a table on the Model 707B or 708B that contains the crosspoints that are
needed to connect the SMU to each diode under test, one at a time. The SMU then performs an I-V
sweep on the diode. Data from the SMU is returned to the controlling computer after all six diodes
have been tested.
