• smu.source.sweeplinear(): Sets up a linear sweep for a fixed number of measurement
points.
• smu.source.sweeplinearstep(): Sets up a linear source sweep configuration list and
trigger model with a fixed number of steps.
• smu.source.sweeplist(): Sets up a sweep based on a configuration list, which allows you to
customize the sweep.
• smu.source.sweeplog(): Sets up a logarithmic sweep for a set number of measurement
points.
