Beeper control
The beeper command allows you to sound the instrument beeper:
beeper.beep() (on page 8-10)
Digital I/O
The digital I/O port of the instrument can control external circuitry (such as a component handler for
binning operations).
The I/O port has 6 lines. Each line can be at TTL logic state 1 (high) or 0 (low). See the pinout
diagram in Digital I/O port configuration (on page 3-87) for additional information.
You can use these commands to read and write to each individual bit, and to read and write to the
entire port.
digio.line[N].mode (on page 8-50)
digio.line[N].reset() (on page 8-52)
digio.line[N].state (on page 8-53)
digio.readport() (on page 8-53)
digio.writeport() (on page 8-54)
Configuration list
You can use these commands to create and recall configuration lists. A configuration list is a list of
stored settings for the source or measurement function. You can restore these settings to change the
active state of the instrument.
The measure configuration list commands are:
smu.measure.configlist.catalog() (on page 8-135)
smu.measure.configlist.create() (on page 8-136)
smu.measure.configlist.delete() (on page 8-137)
smu.measure.configlist.query() (on page 8-138)
smu.measure.configlist.recall() (on page 8-140)
smu.measure.configlist.size() (on page 8-141)
smu.measure.configlist.store() (on page 8-142)
The source configuration list commands are:
smu.source.configlist.catalog() (on page 8-177)
smu.source.configlist.create() (on page 8-177)
smu.source.configlist.delete() (on page 8-178)
smu.source.configlist.query() (on page 8-179)
smu.source.configlist.recall() (on page 8-180)
smu.source.configlist.size() (on page 8-181)
smu.source.configlist.store() (on page 8-182)
