Section 3: LPTLib command reference

S530/S540 KTE Linear Parametric Test Library (LPTLib) User's Manual

3-46

S530-900-01 Rev. E / September 2017

Example

double if46, vf47;

if46 = 50e-3;

conpin(3, GND, 0);

conpin(SMU1, 2, 0);

forcei(SMU1, if46); /* Forward bias the diode; */

/* set SMU current */

/* limit to 50 mA. */

measv(SMU1, &vf47); /* Measure forward bias; */

/* return result to vf47. */

In this example, the forward bias voltage of the diode is obtained from a single source-measure unit
(SMU).
