configListName
The name of the source configuration list that the sweep uses; this must be defined
before sending this command
biasLevel
Output level the instrument sources before the first pulse and returns to between
pulses (delay and off time):
• Current: -7.35 A to 7.35 A
•
Voltage: -105 V to 105 V
start
The voltage or current source level at which the pulse sweep starts:
• Current: -10.5 A to 10.5 A
•
Voltage: -105 V to 105 V
stop
The voltage or current source level at which the pulse sweep stops:
• Current: -10.5 A to 10.5 A
•
Voltage: -105 V to 105 V
points
The number of pulse-measure points between the start and stop values of the pulse
sweep (2 to 1e6)
pulseWidth
The time at the amplitude level for each pulse:
• Extended operating area: 10 A at 100 V, 5 % duty cycle, maximum pulse
width: 1 ms, minimum pulse width 150 µs (load dependent)
• Normal operating area (DC): 99.99 % duty cycle, maximum pulse width
10,000 s, minimum pulse width 150 µs
measEnable
Enable or disable measurements at the top of each pulse:
• Enable: smu.ON (default)
• Disable:
smu.OFF
