ibuffer
A reading buffer object where current readings will be stored

A reading buffer object where voltage readings will be stored
Details
As measurements are made, they are stored in a reading buffer. If the instrument is configured to
return multiple readings where one is requested, the readings will be available as they are made.
Measurements are in the following units of measure:
v
= volts,
i
= amperes,
r
= ohms,
p
= watts.
The
smu
X
.trigger.measure.iv()
function stores current readings in
ibuffer
and voltage
readings in
vbuffer
.
If a given reading buffer contains any data, it is cleared before making any measurements, unless the
reading buffer has been configured to append data.
The SMU only retains the last call to any one of these functions and only that measurement action is
performed.
After configuring the measurements to make with this function, remember to enable the measurement
action by setting
smu
X
.trigger.measure.action
=
smu
X
.ENABLE
.
Example
smua.trigger.measure.v(vbuffername)
smua.trigger.measure.action = smua.ENABLE
Stores voltage readings during the
sweep for SMU channel A in buffer
vbuffername
.
