agb1500_setSerRes
This function sets the series resistor of the specified channel.
Syntax ViStatus _VI_FUNC agb1500_setSerRes(ViSession vi, ViInt32 channel,
ViInt32 state);
Parameters vi Instrument handle returned from agb1500_init( ).
channel Slot number of the slot that installs the SMU to be used. See
Table 2-2. Set 0 to select all SMUs.
state 0 (disconnects resistor) or 1 (connects resistor).
agb1500_setShortCorrMode
This function sets the CMU short correction function ON or OFF.
The agb1500_execShortCorr function must be executed before this function.
Syntax ViStatus _VI_FUNC agb1500_setShortCorrMode(ViSession vi, ViInt32 channel,
ViInt32 mode);
Parameters vi Instrument handle returned from agb1500_init( ).
channel Slot number of the slot that installs the MFCMU to be used. See
Table 2-2. channel=-1 detects the slot automatically.
mode 0: CMU short correction function ON.
1: CMU short correction function OFF.
