ViReal64 v2 = 10; /* pulse sweep stop voltage */
ViInt32 pts = 11; /* number of sweep steps */
ViReal64 th = 0; /* hold time */
ViReal64 tw = 0.001; /* pulse width */
ViReal64 tp = 0.01; /* pulse period */
ViReal64 ic = 0.05; /* sweep source current compliance */
ret = hp4156b_setPiv(vi, pch, sm, or, v0, v1, v2, pts, th, tw, tp,
ic);
ViInt32 mm = 1; /* measurement mode: current */
ViReal64 mr = 0; /* measurement range: auto */
ViInt32 mpts; /* number of measurement steps */
ViReal64 sc[11]; /* source data */
ViReal64 md[11]; /* measurement data */
ViInt32 st[11]; /* status */
ret = hp4156b_sweepPiv(vi, pch, mm, mr, &mpts, &sc[0], &md[0],
&st[0]);
For the above example, the array variables sc[], md[], and st[] will contain the
following data.
sc[n]: Sweep source setup data (voltage).
md[n]: Measurement data (current).
st[n]: Status for the md[n] data.
where, n = 0 to 10 (integer).
