disp_data1 vi, ret, m(), md(), st(), stress, duration
Line Description
1 Beginning of the stress_meas subprogram.
3 to 26 Declares variables, and defines the value.
28 to 35 Sets the SMU filter on for the all channels, sets the A/D converter
integration time, applies voltage to device, and performs spot
measurement. After that, calls the check_err subprogram (shown in
Table 3-1) to check if an error status is returned for the previous line.
37 to 38 Sets all channels to zero output state, and calls the disp_data1
subprogram to display measurement data.
